National Peacekeepers' Day - Light Lunch

On behalf of Currumbin Palm Beach RSL Sub Branch and its members, we warmly invite you to attend our inaugural National Peacekeepers’ Day cenotaph service and light lunch.

On 14 September each year, Australia observes National Peacekeepers’ Day. It’s the anniversary of the day Australia became the world’s first peacekeepers to deploy into the field, in the Netherlands East Indies (now Indonesia) in 1947.

Since that time, Australian peacekeepers have served in locations around the globe, from the Middle East to Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific and many more.

More than 66,000 Australian men and women have served in more than 50 international peacekeeping operations since 1947; tragically 16 have lost their lives.

This commemorative service is an opportunity for Australians to honour the service and sacrifice of Australia’s military, police and civilian peacekeepers.
