Honouring our Defence Forces - past and present

 

Originally formed by soldiers returned from World War I, RSL Queensland is still run by veterans for veterans. Our members are young and old, female and male. They have served overseas and at home, in armed conflict, peacekeeping missions and disaster recovery. What they have in common is service.

FUNDING ASSISTANCE for the unmarked WW1 War Graves Program is available from DVA. The Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG), within DVA, has established a program whereby individuals or associations might apply for funding to assist in marking an unmarked grave. This is a pilot program that will be available for two years. The funding assistance for this program is capped at $450 for each application. www.dva.gov.au
