Korean War veterans pause to reflect

SUNDAY’S poignant service in Noble Park marked 60 years since the end of the Korean War.

Local Korean War veteran Les Hughes said it was an important chance to reflect and remember.
Greater Dandenong will pause with the world to reflect on the sacrifice men and women have made for their countries on Remembrance Day, next Monday 11 November.
The Endeavour Hills War Memorial, on Heatherton Road, Endeavour Hills, will host an early service at 10.30am on 7 November.
Dandenong’s Cenotaph and Pillars of Freedom, in McCrae Street, will host a service from 10.45am on 11 November and Noble Park RSL on Heatherton Road, Noble Park, will hold its commemoration in the adjacent memorial park at 11am, with refreshments in the club rooms to follow.
