Members of the Rotary Club of Botany Randwick were proud to participate in two very moving Dawn Services, at Botany and Coogee, to commemorate the 106th Anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and to remember the sacrifice of members of our armed forces. In a very moving service at Coogee Beach, President Christine, supported by members Alan and Richard, laid the wreath. Alan was wearing the WW1 medals of his grandfather, who was decorated for bravery in the field, with the award of the Military Medal, presented by General Sir John Monash. Richard is a retired Lieutenant Colonel and a former Commanding Officer of the 21st Construction Regiment, Royal Australian Engineers.
At Booralee Park, Botany, the club was represented by members Rohan and "Aunty" Barb. Barb also gave the Welcome to Country at the ceremony and later at the breakfast at the Botany Golf Club.
We appreciates the support of both Botany and Coogee-Randwick-Clovelly Sub-branches of the RSL for including our Club in
these commemoration ceremonies.
