๐พ Paws and reflect in recognition of the National Day for War Animals, this special Last Post service will pay tribute to the remarkable deeds and sacrifices of animals in times of war.๐ด๐ถ Throughout history, animals have served as indispensable assets in various roles, including transport, messengers, protectors, mascots, support animals, and cherished pets. Their vital contributions have left an indelible mark on every conflict involving Australians.
A variety of service animals and their handlers will be in attendance, and the service will conclude with the release of homing pigeons.
Join us with your (leashed) fur friends to honour the contribution of war animals who have given their loyalty and their lives.
