Anzac Day 2023

This year we are encouraging family members of the 2/18th to march in the ANZAC Day March in Sydney, under our original banner. It is heartwarming when grandchildren as well as children of our veterans march to show respect for the men of the battalion.

ANZAC Day March details

We meet under the 2/18th banner at the corner of Hunter and Elizabeth Streets Sydney, between 9:00am and 9:30am.
