âWhen you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today.â
These words, from British poet John Maxwell Edmonds, set the tone for Proserpineâs Anzac Day Dawn Service, where generations of military families gathered to pay their respects this morning.
About 300 people gathered outside the RSL for the ceremony, adapted this year because of construction works in town.
Proserpine State High School students were among those who took part in wreath laying to honour fallen soldiers.
As did Proserpine RSLâs patron, 99-year-old WWII veteran George Gnezdiloff.
The crowd was invited to sing both the Australian and New Zealand national anthems, with Shannon Lorraway leading a stirring rendition of the latter.
