2015 - 2018

In the midst of carnage at Fromelles, a badly wounded Digger, huddled in a shell

hole, called out for assistance, “Don’t forget me, Cobber” This statement is from

The Hon Bruce Scotts ANZAC DAY Centenary guide.

100 years on ANZAC Vietnam veterans will not forget their cobbers as they carry

the Australian Slouch Hat and the New Zealand Lemon Squeezer Hat that once sat

on the heads of dedicated soldiers who came from Maori marae, Indigenous

communities, Migrant communities, cities, outback towns, farms and cattle stations

of Australia and New Zealand. The hats are to be carried around Australia by

ANZAC veterans, family members and children as their tribute in memory of men

and women who paid the supreme sacrifice from the beginning of ANZAC to the

present time.

At the onset of World War One thousands of men and women had rallied to catch

trains and boats then set off from Albany Western Australia 1st November 1914 to

develop the ANZAC history what we have today. Many never to return.

Clarence Ormsby will offer a spiritual ANZAC Centenary presentation to be

followed by a Country Music community tribute to acknowledge Country music

artists who have supported ANZAC soldiers in war titled; ANZACS IN CONCERT.

Any communities willing to host this special ANZAC Centenary event with concert
