Tasmania is preparing to acknowledge the service and sacrifice of our veterans with dozens of Anzac Day dawn services across the state this Thursday.
RSL Tasmania say dawn services and main services have been scheduled for April 25th at the below confirmed locations.
“This is truly one of the most significant days on our calendar,” Minister for Veterans Affairs Guy Barnett said.
“I encourage Tasmanians to attend one of your local services and commemorate the courage, mateship, service and sacrifice which are symbolic of the Anzac spirit that was born 109 years ago.”
In World War One, more than 15,000 Tasmanians served and an estimated 3,000 were killed, Barnett said.
“There are 17,500 veterans in our State and I ask my fellow Tasmanians to reach out and say ‘Thank you for your service’.”
