Rotary Information
A motto of Rotary is Service Above Self.
Today marks the centenary of the battle of Polygon Wood, near Ypres, Belgium in which 5,770 young Australian soldiers made the ultimate Service Above Self
In the local town of Zonnebeke lives Vandewalle, a farmer and publican who has dedicated his adult life to Service Above Self in finding and identifying the many unknown soldiers who still lie beneath the surrounding fields
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Vandewalle at his pub and being taken to the Polygon Wood cemetery, where many of our brave soldiers have been laid to rest, thanks to his dedication of Service Above Self
