The 11th day of the 11th month is steeped in Australia's history as the day we celebrate the end of World War 1, and the day we remember all service personnel who died in the line of duty.
For Odd Bods there is a special place where we observe Rememberance Day and that is the Repatriation Hospital in Heidelberg, Melbourne. One of the original Odd Bods banners was made at the Austin/Heidelberg Repatriation General Hospital by a seamstress in the hospital laundry. That banner served many good years at Odd Bods events including the Anzac Day March and is now on display in the hospital chapel.
A service is held in the grounds of the hospital each Remembrance Day and the following photos were recorded at todays service attended by a number of our Association members. Thank you to Peter Randell for supplying the photos.
