St Marys is a town rich in history, community spirit, and a deep connection to Australia’s military heritage. From its early days as a rural settlement to its strong ties with the Australian Defence Force, St Marys has always been a place of resilience, honour, and remembrance.
At the heart of this proud legacy is St Marys Diggers & Band Club, a venue built on the values of camaraderie and respect for those who have served our country. Through initiatives like the Corridor of Honour and our partnership with the St Marys RSL Sub-Branch, we continue to ensure that the sacrifices of our local heroes are never forgotten.
ANZAC Day, observed annually on April 25, is one of the most important days of remembrance in Australia. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during World War I at Gallipoli in 1915.
For the people of St Marys, ANZAC Day is more than a commemoration—it is a deeply personal tribute to the brave men and women from our own community who served in times of war and peacekeeping missions. Each year, our club and local RSL Sub-Branch come together to honour their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to our nation.
The St Marys RSL Sub-Branch plays a crucial role in supporting veterans, their families, and the wider community. With a strong focus on remembrance, welfare, and mateship, the Sub-Branch ensures that veterans receive the care, respect, and assistance they deserve.
One of the most significant features within St Marys Diggers Club is the Corridor of Honour. This dedicated space serves as a permanent tribute to the brave men and women of our community who served in the armed forces.
Walking through the Corridor of Honour, visitors can see photographs, plaques, and historical memorabilia that tell the stories of local servicemen and women. It is a space designed to educate, reflect, and inspire, ensuring that future generations understand and appreciate the sacrifices made for our country.
