Maitland's bells will toll to remember the beginning of WWI
From the Maitland Mercury report:
The bells will toll throughout Maitland tomorrow as residents stop to commemorate 100 years since the start of World War I.
At 11am, schools and churches across the city will ring their bells in honour of those men and women who have served Australia during the past centenary.
And as Australia’s oldest continually operating public school, Largs is proud to take part in the communal ceremony.
“It’s great that a significant part of our historical school [the 175-year-old school bell] has motivated the students to learn about and participate in such an important part of Australian history,” principal Sharon Palmer said
