Stirling RSL Sub-Branch

OUR HISTORY

 

The RSL is one of Australia’s oldest and most respected national organisations. The League was founded in 1916 and supports serving and ex-service Defence Force members and their families and promotes a secure, stable and progressive Australia.

 

In most RSL ceremonies of remembrance there is the reading of the League Ode published in “Poems of the Great War” in 1914.                        

The Ode

 

They shall grow not old,

as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,

nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun

and in the morning
We will remember them.

 

Lest   we   Forget
