It is more than just a facility— it is a sanctuary where returning servicemen and women can reflect on the past while fostering growth and resilience for the future.

This year, the service will take place at the newly erected cenotaph, a poignant addition to the Windsor community, symbolizing our enduring commitment to remembrance. The cenotaph stands as a beacon of history and sacrifice, ensuring that the legacy of our fallen heroes is never forgotten.
