Firing blanks

23/04/2009

TWO blank volleys will be fired during Berwick’s ANZAC Day service this Saturday.
The Australian Great War Association, who will fire the volleys as a sign of respect for the fallen, warns the volleys will be “very loud” but will not cause any harm to the general public.
Legal permits have been obtained for the blank volley firing and Narre Warren Police have been informed.
Berwick’s ANZAC Day service will run from 11am to 12 in High Street.
