Anzac Essays.

Renmark RSL Sub Branch members Tony Guster and Ray Hartigan meet the students of Renmark Primary School Grade 5 and 6 in the Cross of Sacrifice Memorial Garden. The students were on an information gathering process to help them write their ANZAC Essays, “If I was sent to war”.

Pacestick presentation by Mr Ray Hartigan, OAM, to the 410 Army Cadet Unit.

Ray Hartigan presented his own RSM pacestick to the CDT Warrant Officer at 410ACU on the night of the 6th December, 2021.
This pacestick was presented to Ray in 1975 upon his promotion to WO1 by his father, who at the time was also a serving WO1 in the Australian Regular Army. 
The 410ACU CDT WO is now the official custodian, and has been charged with its upkeep and correct use.

Virtual War Memorial Visit by Megan Spencer

On the 20th of October, our sub branch had a visit from Megan Spencer. Megan is making four podcast episodes for the Virtual War Memorial for their Schools Education Program. Megan addressed the executive committee and briefed them on her task. Megan was given a tour of the honour boards at the entry of the Renmark Institute Hall, and then to the Renmark cemetery to see the cast number of veteran graves.
 A big thanks to Jason and Sue for arranging this.
