With Remembrance Day coming on November 11, the Winds Of Change Art Gallery in George Street, Nanango will be commemorating the memory of Australians at war with a special exhibition.
During November the Gallery will be displaying a collection of memorabilia and military paraphernalia which includes uniforms from past and recent conflicts, and artifacts including boots and bullet belts; a brass bugle; framed photographs; and a selection of illustrated books from the Crimean War, WWI, WWII, and the Korea and Vietnam Wars.
The collection is on loan from Nanango RSL Sub-branch’s military historian Peter Riches, and is now open for viewing.
Admission to view it is completely free.
