MEMBERS of the Kalangadoo community will gather on April 18 to remember two World War II veterans for the town’s annual Anzac commemoration service.
The service of Private Williams (Bill) James Peake and Craftsman Leo Matson Bilney will be honoured at the 6.15am ceremony at the Kalangadoo Cemetery.
Born in Mount Gambier on March 1, 1924 and educated at the Kalangadoo Primary School, Private Peake enlisted in the Third Light Horse Regiment as a 17-year-old.
Private Peake – who was 6ft tall and an accomplished horseman – lied about his birthdate and stated he was born in Queensland to enlist, using his skills to train others in the handling of horses and their care.
