ANZAC Day Photo Upload
Following the success of previous years’ presentations, families and staff are again invited to provide a photograph of their son with a relative or relatives who represented their country in armed conflict as part of our ANZAC Day commemorations.
This extends to those family members who have served in any role, such as soldiers, nurses, pilots and medics in operations including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Gulf War, Afghanistan and modern peacekeeping missions.
Please note that submitted images will be collated and displayed publicly at the Iona ANZAC Day Ceremony. Some may also be displayed on other Iona media, such as the newsletter, website or social media pages.
If the relative is deceased but you would like your son to participate, you might consider:
- Photographing your child in Iona uniform holding an image of his relative.
- Photographing your child in Iona uniform wearing his relative’s medals. The Australian War Memorial website asks that, “If wearing someone else’s medals, they should be positioned on the right-hand side (of the chest)”.
- Photographing your child in Iona uniform with the spouse of a relative who served.
Please ensure that your photos are submitted by Tuesday 22 April.
