On this most solemn day, VPNG pauses to remember, and honour the memory of all who have served. In particular, we acknowledge the brave sacrifice of Australia's nurses who both perished and those who returned, never to be the same after surviving the horrors of war. They bravely went to lands afar, on ships afloat, many having never before dreamed of leaving Australia's shores.
Lest we forget.
Lest we forget.
