In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli
We remember the thousands of men and women from Richmond who bravely volunteered to serve their country throughout the terrible conflicts of World War I.
United in courage and spirit, these brave Australians came from many cultural backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and sacrificed much for the freedom that we have today.
