To Flanders Fields is an initiative between the RSL and Services Clubs Association and the Australian War Memorial.
“More Australians were killed on the Western Front in the First World War than in any other theatre of war,” OESC president Graeme Gentles said.
“The Flanders region of Belgium saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the war, including events which would eventually turn the tide in favour of the allies.
“Australian troops suffered heavily in mighty battles at Bullecourt, in France, and at Messines and in the third battle of Ypres, in Belgium.”
To Flanders Fields will be on exhibition until Tuesday, November 28.
