Dunkley "Australia Remembers" Commemoration Plaque
To mark the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, 1939 - 1945
This plaque was placed by the Dunkley "Australia Remembers" Committee to pay tribute to the Australian men and women who served in the theatres of war or on the home front during World War II, 1939-1945. It honours those who gave their lives for Australia in battle, or who died as a result of the war.
On this day, 11 November 1995, children of the district assembled with war veterans at this site as a gesture of gratitude from the whole community.
Let not the children of Australia forget the courage and herosim of the young men and women of 1939-45 who so valiantly answered the call of their country.
May the children of our nation dedicate themselves with equal courage to the great task of building a world free from war and the threat of war.
May they join in bonds of friendship with the people of all nations to ensure peace on earth, goodwill to all people.
This plaque was unveiled on 11 November 1995 by Bob Chynoweth MP Federal Member for Dunkley
