Members of the tight-knit Glencoe community will honour wartime service and sacrifice at their annual observance of Anzac Day on April 25.

All participants are asked to gather outside the Glencoe Post and Rail general store at 6.45am and then march to the music of bagpipes to the nearby memorial.

Such a kind of formal march featured at Glencoe last century when students would stage a procession from their school to the stone monument.

Most of the usual Glencoe Anzac Day arrangements will apply in 2023 after some COVID-related restrictions were in force a year ago.

The dawn service at 7am will be conducted by Lyn Salter, a lay reader with the Uniting Church.

It will be followed by the traditional cooked breakfast at the nearby Glencoe Community Hall and provided by this facility’s committee.

The Glencoe Progress Association has arranged the Anzac Day observance for around 25 years and this followed the closure of the Glencoe branch of the RSL.

GPA officials are hoping for another good attendance with 150 present most years.
