Members of the Morwell RSL Sub-branch will always remember the sacrifices made by service personal to give us the freedom we enjoy to this day.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old ;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
