On Tuesday October 9th the sun shone brightly over our Cenotaph as our new bronze statues were installed. They arrived on schedule and in time for our Remembrance day ceremony. This sees stage two of our Cenotaph upgrade and refurbishment program successfully completed. Planning for the third and final stage is well underway and we are hoping that all will be completed by ANZAC Day 2019.

Remembrance Day and Dedication Services
Sunday 11 November 2018 Commencing at 10.40am At the Cenotaph, Main Road, Toukley
To commemorate the centenary, marking one hundred years since the signing of the Armistice signifying the end of WW1, Toukley RSL Sub Branch will be conducting a Memorial Service and also a Dedication Service for two bronze statues. These statues will not only serve as a reminder to all those who have served our country and to those who paid the supreme sacrifice but also act as guardians for the current 408 veterans whose ashes are interred in the Memorial Gardens. Lest We Forget
