​MAHG President, Garry Hutton, led the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Moonambel. A very moving service was conducted. Not only did Garry explained to the Moonambel Primary School pupils the significance of the
flag, the monument and the importance of the ceremony for families and for the future, he read an extract from The Avoca Free Press, dated Aug 24th, 1918 describing the dedication of the Moonambel Anzac Avenue on 17th August, 1918.   This gave a clear sense of the community’s patriotism and community spirit at that time.  Those attending today’s Remembrance Day ceremonies demonstrated that both patriotism and community spirit are feelings which have not diminished.

In addition,  an album of photos of the men from Moonambel who served in WWI, which had pride of place within the school had been restored  by MAHG and was presented back to the Moonambel Primary School. 

Three local residents who  had served in the Navy, Army and Air Force, Ben Williams, Russell Ellett and Graeme Akers, laid a wreath.

     MAHG had successfully applied for a                $11,440 grant from Restoring Community          War Memorial Program.  8 trees were                replaced including sturdy tree guards and          52 plaques are now in front of each tree            dedicated to a soldier who served in WWI.
