Wimmera’s Rosemary Remembrance Committee
The Wimmera’s Rosemary Remembrance Committee has called for volunteers to help make commemorative sprigs for ANZAC Day in the Wimmera and at the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance.
The volunteers will make about 80,000 rosemary and poppy sprigs, to be handed out at dawn services.
Last year, 52,600 sprigs were made in Horsham. Committee secretary Lynne Wright said the rosemary and poppy sprigs were a way to remember everyone who had been affected by war.
Ms Wright praised the support of a Balmoral rosemary farm, which donated 150 kilograms of rosemary and said any level of contribution would be greatly appreciated.
