Gavon Armstrong from Kyabram gave a very moving address

Guest speaker, Gavon Armstrong from Kyabram gave a very moving address which was ably understood by all ages; Gavon had travelled to the terrible battle areas of the 1st World War plus walking a part of the Kokoda Track.

The acclamation at the finish of Gavon's address spoke words of high praise. It was another successful Remembrance Day.
