In Australia and other allied countries, including New Zealand, Canada and the United States, November 11 became known as Armistice Day - a day to remember those who died in World War One.

The day continues to be commemorated in allied countries.

After WWII, the Australian Government agreed to the United Kingdom's proposal that Armistice Day be renamed Remembrance Day, to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars.

On November 11, those lives will be remembered on Remembrance Day.

The Goulburn RSL Sub Branch will hold a Remembrance Day Service, on Saturday, November 11, at the Rocky Hill Memorial, in conjunction with Goulburn Mulwaree Council and OM Mobility Scooters at 10.30am.

The Sub Branch has advised that the RAAF will stage a fly-over of Rocky Hill shortly after 10am.

The service will include an official wreath laying service.

Members of the public, who wish to lay wreaths, may do so after the official wreath laying service.

Due to the limited parking available at Rocky Hill, Goulburn Mulwaree Council have arranged a returned shuttle bus service from Carr Convoy Park, from 9.30 am to 12.30pm.

For all current ADF and retired Veterans attending, medals are to be worn.

All information can be found through the club's secretary Frank Wilcomes on 4821 6292 or 040 912 3396.
