ANZAC day was on Thursday 25th April 2024 and in Harefield we have a very strong historical bond with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
St. Mary’s churchyard contains war graves from both world wars, 112 of which are First World War graves of Australians who died in No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital at Harefield Park.
For many years, children of the Infant school have visited the graves on ANZAC day to lay flowers. This year, they were joined by some of the older children from the Juniors. The Junior school choir also performed at the special ANZAC service at the church. You can view a recording of the service on the St Mary’s YouTube channel by clicking here.
We will remember them.
