Merchant Navy Day Memorial Service

Annual service to remember and commemorate those who have lost their lives in the Merchant Navy during conflicts. We first sang for this group at the 80th Anniversary of Allied Service in the Pacific in March 2022, and then at the Merchant Navy Day Service last year.

We sing from the Order of Service placed in our Anzac Books and so do not require bags for our books. We usually place any members items out of the way in the keyboard bag to reduce clutter. The marquee provides protection from the elements in this outdoor service. We will support the service by singing the Naval Hymn, the National Anthem and finish the service with Let There be Peace on Earth.

The Port Adelaide and Enfield Council now take responsibility for setting up the memorial area, making sure there is no risks, thus making it easy for us to just arrive and set up our keyboard to plug into their PA system. No perceived risks.
