After a lapse of one year due to COVID, members of the Sri Lanka <\/span>Ex Servicemen\u2019s Association marched alongside the members of <\/span>RSL Kenmore Moggil Branch at the Brookfield showgrounds. <\/span>The usual parade at Kenmore featuring <\/span>a large number of veterans, community <\/span>groups, school children, military vehicles etc was downsized this year to a <\/span>much shorter parade to the Brookfield <\/span>showgrounds. The school children <\/span>lined up along to route to cheer the <\/span>veterans into the showgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Admiral Travis Sinniah, the 21st Commander of the Sri Lanka Navy laid a <\/span>wreath on behalf of the Sri Lankan <\/span>
\ncontingent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The President of the RSL Kenmore <\/span>Moggil Branch, Lieutenant Colonel <\/span>Rick Maher recounted the significance <\/span>
\nof the Brookfield showgrounds in the <\/span>recruitment drive for World War I. The <\/span>grounds was the site of the horse muster where the locals donated horses for the service in the war. <\/span>Recognising the role the Sri Lankan soldiers played in Gallipoli, Sri <\/span>Lanka food was available. <\/span>A T20 cricket game between the Armed forces and the Lord Mayor\u2019s <\/span>team was played in recognition of the \u201cShell Green\u201d played by the <\/span>Australians as a diversionary tactic in Gallipoli.<\/span><\/p>\n
