The installation ceremony took place on 9th July 2019.
This annual informal ceremony was attended by the President, together with committee members, Guy Audibert (also President of AMAC) and Sumitra Tikaram. After the ceremony, the wreath was placed on the grave of a nearby Australian soldier who had died during WW1.
