24th Infantry BattalionPrint Page

The Pine tree commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action while serving with with 24th Infantry Battalion of World War One. It was planted in 1934 and was No. 108 in the ballot. 

One of the most picturesque ceremonies yet held at the Shrine of Remembrance will take place on Saturday, 4th August, when nearly 100 trees will be planted along the main approaches - on the city side. Each tree will represent a Victorian unit or association, and each will be planted by a representative of the unit concerned after a brief, address at 3 p.m. by the chairman of the shrine trustees (Sir H. Chauvel) at the intersection of the main approach and Government House drive. The position of the trees for each unit was selected by ballot.

The 24th Battalion A.I.F. and A.M.F , will make its annual pilgrimage to the Shrine of Remembrance on Sunday, which is the nearest Sunday to October 5, the anniversary of the battalion's last action, at Montbrehain. The regimental colour with escort and band will lead members of the A.I.F. from the Linlithgow statue. A salute will be given to the lone pine planted by the battalion near the north east corner of the shrine in memory of its fallen. The memorial service will be conducted by the Rev A. P Bladen.
