Wreath bound for Gallipoli

A wreath made by the Caroline Springs RSL Sub-Branch will be laid at Gallipoli on Anzac Day by Kororoit MP Luba Grigorovitch.

Ms Grigorovitch is part of a Victorian delegation heading to Gallipoli, Türkiye, to mark this year’s Anzac Day celebrations and to attend the official dawn service.

Ms Grigorovitch said she was delighted and honoured to receive the invitation.

“I have accepted on behalf of my constituency to remember those who had served and those who died to defend Australia,” she said.

“This is clearly a wonderful opportunity to represent both the community of Kororoit and the local Caroline Springs RSL Sub-Branch at the Gallipoli service.

The Caroline Springs RSL Sub-Branch has provided her with a wreath, sewn by member Lorraine Gladman to lay at the dawn service.

Ms Grigorovitch plans to visit the graves of those from our area who lost their lives in battle.

Her itinerary also includes a wreath-laying ceremony at the Mausoleum of Ataturk with the signing of the book of honour, visiting the Lone Pine Memorial as it’s such a sacred and important site to those who served and the memories of the many that fell as well as a meeting with the Türkiye president.
