A little over 200 people populate the town and almost 130 showed to pay their respects at a new monument unveiled by Farrer MP Sussan Ley.

Former Deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer also returned home to remember the 89 people from the area who fought in WWI and all others who have served.

Ms Ley said the memorial would ensure Australians understand their obligation to never forget those who served our nation.

“Much is said about the history, the geopolitical strategies, the objectives of war, the architecture of peace and so it should be,” Ms Ley said.

“Wanting to do their duty and the other thing was love of family and love of the people they left behind - those two things gave them the dignity that is preserved in the Anzac spirit today.

“It is all about the people.”

Ms Ley also attended the Albury dawn service and a lunch at The Rock and said during her travels it became evident he Anzac spirit is alive and well.

“Everyone has been surprised at the numbers that have showed this year," she said.

“This is a resurgence of the Anzac spirit.

“My grandfather was on the western front and he came back and became a Church of England Minister, but I don’t think he was ever the same.

“We need this spirit to stay alive so we can remember this is something we don’t want to repeat.”

Boree Creek received about $4000 from the Federal Government’s Anzac Centenary local grant program for the new memorial.

Mr Fischer, whose name appears on one of the plaques, said it will help the continuation of the Anzac Day observance.

“Its nice to come home and it’s a lovely new memorial, I salute all the locals who put it together,” he said.
