City of Traralgon Band - ‘Tour of Remembrance’

We stand among the war graves and memorials of soldiers from our very own region —

Gippsland’s sons and daughters, who left home with dreams and courage, and never returned.

There, we play in honour of them. For their memory. For their legacy.

For their families, who have asked us to honour their loved ones with music, where they now sleep.
