The riders went on parade from the Tuross Country Club passing the war memorial in Birdwood Circle and onto the village centre, inviting people to join the 11am commemorative service at Plantation Point Memorial Garden, where they formed an honour guard.

Anglican Minister David Hill led the service, which was the Second World War 1 commemoration to be held at the Plantation Memorial. Two years ago a ceremony was held where seed, believed to have come from a tree at Lone Pine, was planted in the garden.

On Saturday relatives of the Anzacs were joined by Eurobodalla Shire residents and visitors to remember the sacrifices made during World War 1, to give thanks and to honour the 1.5 million Australians who have served our country in war and conflict.

Wreaths were laid dedications were made to the fallen, those who have since passed on and the last four Anzacs still with us.

The presence of the Moruya Light Horse and Camel Corps sparked poignant memories for those at the service with close family links to WW 1.

Trevor Brown, of Tuross Head, said he was at the ceremony give thanks, to honour his cousin who had served with the Light Horse and to remember the sacrifices made: there were 226,073 Australian casualties in WW1 - the highest per capita in the British Empire - 59,258 were killed. Since then another 140,000 Australian servicemen and women have fallen in the line of duty.

Mr Brown said members of the 7th Light Horse had ridden through his familyChr(39)s farm at Dapto when they patrolled the coast during the early years of WW 11.

Tuross resident, Ken Snodgrass, said his father (who passed away in 1966) was an Anzac who served at Gallipoli in the 1st Division with the 1st Artillery Brigade, 2nd Battery.

Mr Snodgrass chatted with Turlinjah Camel Corps riders Stan Edwards and Kath Ellis, after the service and said the uniform colour patches of the Moruya Light Horse (red and black) reminded him of those on his fatherChr(39)s uniform.

The Light Horse Association Bega and Moruya troops will be at NaroomaChr(39)s Australia Day celebration in January to give a demonstration of horsemanship and presentations on the history of AustraliaChr(39)s Light Horse troops.
