Lambton-New Lambton RSL Sub-Branch

Commemorative plaque unveiled at LHS

Lambton High School was the proud recipient of a commemorative WWII tablet last month, honouring Australian and New Zealand personnel who served in the battles of Greece and Crete.  The battles were fought in April and May of I941 as Allied forces tried to fight off Italian and German invasions. Almost 600 Australians died in the two battles. 1000 were wounded and more than 5000 were taken

prisonerl.  Last year the Greek ambassador donated several marble tablets to RSL NSW, with one being passedon to the Lambton-New Lambton RSL Sub-branch and Lambton High School chosen as an appropriate place for mounting due to the school’s close relationship with the Sub-Branch. The tablet has been placed in a prominent position near the school library with the sub-branch sub-branch members thanking principal Gary Bennett for his assistance and invitation to attend the unveiling.
