For the first time in its history of 115 years, the Oxley Island Hall Committee will conduct a commemorative service on Remembrance Day, November 11, at 10.30am to mark the centenary of the end of World War I.

Organiser Warwick Murray said the indoor flagpole, the cenotaph and dais are all ready together with floodlighting and a specially constructed double flag mast.

The wreath laying segment will include hall committee life member Clem Thomas laying a wreath for World War I diggers, WWII veteran George Weiley will lay for his era, citizen of the year Dennis Marriot will represent Korea veterans while Australian Light Horse Association vice president, Rodney O'Regan OAM VA, a Vietnam veteran, will represent that era.
