Andrew Leigh opens Armistice and After

Andrew Leigh MP, Member for Fenner was guest of honour for the official opening of the Centre's latest exhibition - Armistice and After. Curated by Allen Mawer, with the support of many other volunteer members, the exhibition was made possible by a grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs. It puts in place the final chapter of the ANZAC exhibition - 'When Hall answered the call' (2015) - looking at the Armistice experiences of the local enlistees. A substantial gathering of seventy or so attended the opening , and more came throughout the day. Andrew Leigh shared some family stories of his grandfather, who was a returned soldier and a teacher, and spoke generously about the work that the Centre is doing.

Armistice and After will remain on display during the early months of 2019 and possibly beyond
