Latest RSL Mufti Magazine - Unveiling of Peter Corlett's New Statue, Hellenic RSL News and Anzac Day March Details
The latest edition of the RSL magazine Mufti contains reports on a number of items of interest to our Commitee.
Firstly, there is a report on the unveiling in Ballarat of Peter Corlett OAM's new commemorative statue - The Grieving Mother. See the page below:
Secondly, there is a report on last years conferring of Greek Medal of Honour for service in the Greek campaign in WW2. Thanks to Manny Karvelas, Senior Vice President for getting this important event covered in the RSL magazine - and of course for his magnificent photographs! See the page below:
Thirdly, the magazine publishes the details for assembly for this years Anzac Day march. For example, the 6th Division (those troops who served in Greece and Crete) will assemble at Flinders St East (St Paul's side), departing at 9.45am. The Hellenic veterans (along with Scottish and other veterans, and WW1 and WW2 descendants) are to assemble at Flinders Walk, departing at 11.50am. See the pages below:
