Anzac Day 2020

With Anzac Day 2020 services cancelled around the nation, it was fitting to commemorate those who have served to protect our shores with a digital exhibition. Showcasing regimental-styled portraits, taken at a COVID-19 safe distance, of veterans from the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force, with a few from the UK and NZ, and the Skippy Squadron for good measure.

Click on each photo to meet a veteran, discover their story and read their words of wisdom.
