CASEY locals flocked to Remembrance Day services around the municipality on Tuesday to honour those who served in war.
The Endeavour Hills service, at the Endeavour Hills peace memorial, conducted by the Dandenong RSL, attracted more than 50 people, who chose the venue for their minute’s silence at the 11th hour.
Vice president of the Dandenong RSL Alan Harper JP led the ceremony, with City of Casey councillor Rob Wilson, Frank and Hannah Ferguson, Narre Warren North MP Luke Donnellan, members of the Army Cadets and Australian Air League and Sergeant Michael Shears from the Endeavour Hills police station laying wreaths to pay their respects.
Oatlands Primary School students Brooke Hurrey and Brock Mason read two verses of The Ode.
“As the stars shall be bright when we are dust, moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, as the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, to the end, to the end, they remain.”
Alan Collard from the City of Greater Dandenong Band played The Last Post, while students from St Paul Apostle South Primary School laid poppies by the memorial.
