As we remember the fallen on 11 November throughout the Commonwealth, we are pleased to share this personal reflection from Council member, former police officer and UN peacekeeper Dr Martin Hess. His reflections speak to the experiences and remembrances of many RCS members.

A reflection from Dr Martin Hess

Remembrance Day acknowledges the end of the terrible war in Europe in 1918.

In my view, many of the principles that terrible war was fought over are still highly relevant, especially to Commonwealth nations such as Australia, whose sons and daughters have been prepared over generations to go to great lengths to preserve our peace and justice under the rule of law. These are all under threat from various influences at the moment.

Lest we forget.
