A New Memorial Honors Servicewomen
A new memorial has been dedicated to Tasmanian servicewomen, replacing a vandalized memorial at the Launceston Cenotaph Precinct.
"It's a tangible thing, so people can come and sit to reflect and remember what these service women did and still do for us,"
said Dianne Brzeski, president of the Launceston RSL Sub-Branch Women's Auxiliary.
- 20% of the defence force are women, often overlooked for their vital roles.
- Women from Tasmania have contributed to the nation's defence with courage, skill, and resilience.
"Their stories of sacrifice, determination, and camaraderie are woven into the fabric of Australia's history."
