That year the service was held in front of the Taree RSL Club building in Pulteney Street, opposite the council chambers. The dawn service was held at the memorial clock.

We have been delving into the Manning River Times photo archives and while every picture tells a story, sometimes the background to that story is lost.

Which is why we are asking our readers to help. Do you recognise a face, a venue, an occasion?

Over the next few weeks we will publish a selections of images from events such as race days, surf carnivals and school functions.

Soak up the nostalgia. Feedback and shared memories are most welcome.

Visit the Manning River Times website at 6pm every Wednesday for the latest gallery in the series.
