Anzac Day 2014

[Bob McNeill]

Neville, pop 100 in central west NSW normally has its Anzac Day Service the sunday before the 25th, due to the problem of getting a band on the day, This year because Easter falls on the sunday before the service was brought forward by another week, so this year it was held on the 13th. Our little convoy of three got away from Orange at 9.oo am for the 1 1/2 hour drive in the country to arrive in the main st of Neville with just enough time to grab a cuppa, then form up behind, the Highland Band, 1st19th Army Reserve, the FOUR remaining veterans, most of the Neville Public School kids and their principle, bring up the rear, the Jeep, C15, F60L and an A model ford belonging to a local. A great little service followed and then it was up to the local Hall for lunch put on by the Neville Hall Committee. After a lot of chin waggin it was time to turn our heads for home. This time the Jeep led us out as he has a further 30 mile to travel. Great day had by ALL.
