The team from Southern Highlands News will attend the various services to share the photos and stories of the day of remembrance with readers.

This Anzac Day blog will provide a one-stop link to the many Anzac Day stories, photos, videos and news from across the region.

► ONCE the Anzac services were done, people gathered at Briars to play two-up.

Two-up is a game that was originally played n trenches and on troop ships during Gallipoli and the First World War, which is why it is associated with Anzac Day.

The rules of the game are quite simple.

►He was born in the Highlands, but Edmund Milne’s name does not appear on any of the WWI honour rolls.

Charles Davis has spent the past few years creating a website where people can discover more about the the servicemen and women from their area.

Through his research he discovered a reference to Edmund Milne which established his ties to the area.

► Among the commemorations, dawn services and laying of the wreaths, a traditional coin game will take place this Anzac Day.

Two-up will be played across the country in selected pubs RSLs tomorrow. 

It is usually illegal to play the coin game, but an exception is made on three days every year and Anzac Day is one of them.

► Anzac Day resonated with thousands of Highlanders as they attended services across the region on April 25.

Southern Highland News reporters were on hand to capture the activities at the various services held at various locations in the community. See pictures here.

► Along the Great Southern Line, soldiers will soon stand watch.

Artist Tracy Luff has released sketch plans of three statues that will remember WWI veterans in Moss Vale, Goulburn and Picton.

They will stand at three railway stations along what was known during the war years as the Great Southern Line.

► The Dawn Service at Hill Top:

►Highlanders have 14 chances to commemorate fallen soldiers on Anzac Day, April 25.

► A one-hundred year old German-made Howitzer Gun captured by Australian troops in the First World War was unveiled at its new location in Moss Vale.

Formerly located in Apex Park in Moss Vale, the restored gun was appointed to its new home during a small ceremony in Leighton Gardens on April 13.

► Students from the Highlands have taken the opportunity to show what Anzac Day means to them.

► Kaye Daintith and Darryl Starr recently discovered their ancestors are listed on the Colo Vale war memorial.

But this discovery came about as a result of someone else’s research.

Tanya Chalker-Holz was researching her great uncle’s war service when she realised his and their great-uncle’s service numbers were one apart and that they registered on the same day, sailed off to war together and were both killed at Gallipoli on the same day. More here.

► Australians celebrate Anzac Day with two staple foods, Anzac biscuits and beer. 

A Highlands brewery has combined the two to create a sweet, biscuity beer that embodies the Anzac commemorations. More here.

► A four-and-a-half metre tall cross for fallen soldiers has been erected in Mittagong.

St. Stephen’s Anglican Church ladies decided to hand-knit and crochet about 4000 poppies for the remembrance masterpiece.
