Unveiled by Stephanie Hawke and Ryan McManus on Remembrance Day 2001 E.A. Helm (president)

Committee C. McManus (chairman) A.G.Head D.F.Patch

Those who did not return

home will never know the

beauty and wonder of our

Australia.

They will never see the seasons change and enjoy

nature's chorus.

All we enjoy we owe to the

men and women of our

Australia who served

overseas and to those who

lie buried in the fields of

foreign lands and in the

seven seas.

Lest We Forget
