Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day

On 11 November, 1918 the guns in Europe fell silent and the Treaty of Versailles was signed signifying the end of hostilities, the end of World War 1. The 11 November, 2018 is the commemoration of 100 years since the end of World War 1.

The 100th Anniversary of the signing of the Armistice is a deserving celebration and our Sub-branch voted in February 2018 to support Blacktown City Council in a combined service involving Seven- Hills Toongabbie RSL, Blacktown RSL, Riverstone – Schofields RSL and Rooty Hill RSL Sub-branches. These are the arrangements for the day;
