Empire Day Celebrations in Colac Honor War Defenders

Colac hosts Empire Day with a grand parade and a civic program. The procession includes military units, cadets, school and church groups, and many floats, followed by speeches by Sir Alexander Peacock and local leaders. Funds for the British Red Cross are raised via a silk Union Jack sale, raising over £1040, with supporters urged to continue war relief efforts and honor returned soldiers.
