GOVERNOR GENERAL LAUNCHES LEGACY CENTENARY

Legacy Patron, Governor General David Hurley and his wife Her Excellency Linda Hurley  will be joined by Australia’s first ever Victoria Cross recipient Mark Donaldson, previous Director of the Australian War Memorial Dr Brendan Nelson AO and Legacy CEO Scott Warr to officially launch Legacy’s Centenary 2023 at a PRIVATE Virtual Event at 12 noon on Thursday 2nd September with Teddy Tahu Rhodes singing the National Anthem and Melissa Doyle as MC. 

Legacy has its roots in a battlefield promise from the trenches in Pozieres on the Western Front in World War I. That was a promise from a soldier to his dying mate“ I’ll look after the misses and the kids” and one that has been revered since the first Legacy Club was established in Melbourne in 1923.

Legacy currently provides support to over 40,000 war widows and the families of veterans who have given their lives or their mental or physical health in Service to our country. Legacy gets no support from the Federal Government.
