While Remembrance Day on November 11 will see many celebrations across the country, it is Anzac Day which holds a special place in many peoples hearts.
There are many things that help remind us of the spirit of the Anzac’s and what they bravely fought for. The sound of the bugle at dawn, remembering long lost friends and family, proudly wearing uniforms and medals, a game of two-up or simply just uttering those time honoured words ‘Lest we forget’.
The Council of the Australian War Memorial say Anzac Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember all Australians who served and died in war and on operational service past and present.

As Australia’s oldest inland city, Bathurst has a rich and proud history of war time efforts and supporting those who served, with the Bathurst RSL Club established just ten years after World War One.
An integral part of the Bathurst community the club is steadfast to the cause of the Returned Services League Australia in providing for the well-being, care, compensation and commemoration of serving and ex-serving Defence Force Personnel and their dependants.
A popular venue every year, the Bathurst RSL will be open following the Commemoration Service at the Carillon where hundreds of people gather to pay their respects, remember those who have fallen but also celebrate their lives with a laugh or a game of two-up.
