Millicent briefly came to a standstill on Thursday morning as more than 100 mourners paid tribute to wartime service and sacrifice at the annual Remembrance Day service at the Millicent Cross of Sacrifice.
Held under grey skies, the Remembrance Day ceremony was arranged by the Millicent RSL and lasted for about 25 minutes.
The service was led by Millicent RSL president Chris Mathias and RSL chaplain Pastor Paul Hales and included the traditional minute of silence at exactly 11am and singing of the national anthem.
The Ode was recited by RSL vice-president Bruce Clayson.
Official wreaths were laid by the RSL and Wattle Range Mayor Des Noll (pictured) and by students from local schools.
It was 103 years since the guns fell silent “at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month” to mark the end of World War I.
In his speech, Mr Noll recited a poem with a war sacrifice theme by Tracey Goundrill.
As part of the Remembrance Day observation, the Millicent RSL again erected a field of cross poppies to honour those local service personnel who have died in battle or since.
