LEST WE FORGET | On August 4, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany, prompting a four-year global battle that killed more than 9 million people and permanently altered the worlds political landscape. More than 38 per cent of Australian men under 44 enlisted. Of those 416,000, about 60,000 were killed and 156,000 wounded or taken prisoner. Bill Kaine, from the Ulverstone RSL, said it was an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifice of the people who enlisted. I think its very, very important that we at least acknowledge the contribution they made to the freedoms we all enjoy, he said.
