After three years without a public Dawn Service, the Bacchus Marsh RSL has welcomed the community back this year, to honour those who have served Australia in all wars, and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
\nThe COVID-19 pandemic meant most locals were sadly unable to attend the Dawn Service in Bacchus Marsh in 2020 and 2021, with 2021\u2019s Dawn Service limited to RSL members, their guests, and invited dignitaries only.
\nBut with the country emerging from the pandemic and restrictions easing, the RSL welcomed Marshians back in droves, to commemorate our brave servicemen and servicewomen in the traditional way.
\nPresident of the Bacchus Marsh RSL, Michael Baxter, said it was vital to have the community back as part of the ANZAC Day commemorations.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s very important to have the community back, not only for the RSL but also for all the veterans and their families, to be able to get together and mix. Honouring all the fallen, servicemen and servicewomen, and civilians\u2026a lot of people forget innocent civilians were killed in the conflicts too,\u201d Mr Baxter told the Moorabool News.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a great vibe going around at the RSL, coinciding with the ANZAC Day Appeal, we did pretty well selling the tokens. \u2018Light Up the Dawn\u2019 didn\u2019t have the same significance I suppose\u2026people were able to pay their respects, but in private they weren\u2019t able to join with their mates or family, not only to commemorate their service, but everyone else\u2019s service.\u201d
\nA fire pit was lit, representing the eternal gratitude of the community towards those who served, and the more than 100,000 Australians who have given their lives in defence of our country.<\/p>\n
