USQ Springfield will host a service for the greater Springfield community to commemorate ANZAC Day on Thursday, 25 April at 5.45am at Robelle Domain Parklands.
USQ Springfield Director Doug Fraser said ANZAC Day is probably Australia’s most important national occasion.
'It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War,' Mr Fraser said.
'ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and the soldiers in these forces quickly become known as ANZAC’s. The pride they soon took in that name endures to this day.
'To commemorate the sacrifice the soldiers made for Australia, USQ Springfield campus will host the 2013 Springfield Community ANZAC Day Service.
'The ceremony will again be held at Robelle Domain Parklands main stage and will be attended by students from local schools and members of the community.
'Attendees will then be invited to make the short walk back to the USQ campus for laying of wreaths at the lone pine tree descendant at the USQ campus, followed by refreshments.
'Attendees are encouraged to wear service medals awarded to them personally or their forebears.'
