Last week we gathered to officially open the relocated Greensborough War Memorial a place of reflection, remembrance and respect for generations past and present.

The memorial stands as a tribute to the men and women who served our nation, including local servicemen like David John “Jack” Medhurst, a Greensborough boy who enlisted in the First World War and made the ultimate sacrifice near Pozieres in 1916.

Jack’s final letter home, written shortly before his death, is a powerful reminder of the courage, resilience and humanity of those who served. More than 100 years later, his story and the stories of so many others continue to live on.

Thank you to the Greensborough RSL, veterans, families and community members who gathered to mark this important occasion and ensure these stories are remembered for generations to come.
