Anzac Day at Maitland

From the Maitland Mercury report:
Crowd attendance “believed to be records” delighted RSL officials at both Maitland and East Maitland RSL dawn services and main commemorations yesterday.

An estimated 2000 turned out at the Cenotaph in Maitland Park which stunned Maitland RSL officers.
In East Maitland, the RSL said their commemorative service numbers stood at about 600, while the dawn service drew one of the biggest crowds ever seen there.
