As the first light of dawn rippled in the morning sky, hundreds of people – men, women and children – gathered at the cenotaph on Anzac Day to honour those who had served in wars across the decades.
Led by RSL sub-Branch president, Anthony Adams, the reverent silence reflected the great respect held by members of the Gunnedah community.
The Salvation Army’s Peter Hall spoke about the enormous sacrifice of those who had served in all conflicts and offered prayers, while Sally-Anne Hall led the singing and a short reflection.
The Salvation Army has a long and significant history of supporting Australian and New Zealand troops, providing practical, emotional, and spiritual support to servicemen and women for more than 120 years. Their involvement extends to Anzac Day services, marches, and prayers.
When the Last Post and Reveille were sounded, a peaceful hush drifted over the those gathered to honour and respect all who served.
The dawn service closed as the rising sun broke through the clouds and covered the town in morning light, to the first sounds of birds chirping and a solemn silence form those who paused to remember.
