At dawn on Tuesday, April 25, we will gather on Stockade Hill to commemorate Anzac Day.
History defines the events of the First World War.
However, we gather not to glorify war, but to remember and acknowledge the courage of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Last week, a small contingent from the Howick RSA laid out the field of crosses on Stockade Hill in remembrance of the battles fought.
The people of Howick are invited to adopt a cross and add their own family memorabilia in remembrance of their loved ones.
The Howick RSA will always remain committed to the commemorations and remembrance of our local heroes, who are recorded on the Cenotaph on Stockade Hill.
We are committed to the education and continuance of those commemorations.
On behalf of the Howick RSA and its members, I would like to invite everyone to attend both the Dawn and Civic services on Anzac Day.
- Ray Sangster, President, Howick RSA
