Angus referred to a letter written by an Australian soldier and spoke of their courage and bravery. 

Angus said he felt privileged to speak on behalf of his school and young Australians.

“Students of Oberon High School know and admire the people in our community who have served our country valiantly. We recognise that across our region there are men and women who as youths gave up their time to do as their country required of them,” he said.

“We thank them for their service then and remember not only those who died, but recognise that for many the war changed their lives even after they returned home.”
