Murgon RSL receives grant for new Centenary of Anzac commemorative archway
28th November, 2014
The Murgon RSL sub-branch will receive $5,683 from the Australian Government to help build a new commemorative archway over the entrance to the RSL clubhouse for the Centenary of Anzac, Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss announced today. “The grant will be used to install a new archway above the existing footpath entrance to the RSL that will be fitted with a steel plaque, inscribed with the words, ‘Lest We Forget, 1915-2015’. The archway will complement the existing war memorial in Murgon, which is located nearby,” Mr Truss said.
“The archway will be finished in time for the 2015 Anzac Day service in Murgon, and will help to recognise the contributions made by Anzac personnel from the region and their service and sacrifice for our nation during World War 1.
The funding is being provided as part of a $125,000 allocation to the Wide Bay electorate, through the Federal Government’s Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program.
The project complements other commemorative activities and projects that are planned in communities across Wide Bay.
