Our Commemorative Services
At Kedron-Wavell Sub Branch we are proud to honour the service and sacrifice of Australian Defence Force members—past and present—through our annual commemorations.
Each service provides an opportunity for members, families, schools, veterans and the wider community to come together in reflection, gratitude and remembrance.
