2020 Albert Jacka Public Commemorative Service Cancelled


The following notice has been received from the City of Port Phillip:

"With regret, the City of Port Phillip will not be holding a commemoration ceremony for Albert Jacka next month due to ongoing uncertainty. To honour Albert Jacka’s memory, the Mayor will privately lay a wreath at the gravesite over the summer. The St Kilda Cemetery is open 365 days of the year, so regular attendees may visit the grave privately this year instead. We will be sorry not to see our regular guests in 2021, but we look forward to the 90th anniversary commemoration service in 2022."

The Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee has in recent years taken part in this event, recognizing Albert's service on Lemnos in 1915-16.

Jim Claven, Secretary LGCC
