In each of these towns the locals gather along with interested parties to form up and " March" to the Cenotaph then its off to the next one to do it all again. After lunch the band continues to Woodstock for their service. The old vehicles head home. The city of Orange Sub Branch made it very clear a long time ago that X military and even current 1st19th Reserve L/Rovers or their restored Carrier are not welcome in the March, so we go where they enjoy our participation. A history lesson is given at each service when the life of one local serviceman or woman is read out.
