Tomorrow as the sun rises military personnel, invited guests and families will be gathered at the Taurama barracks dawn service for the 40th Remembrance Day Memorial Service.
PNGDF Commander Gilbert Toropo tells PNG Loop that among invited guests will be the Police and Correctional Service Commissioners as well as members of the diplomatic corps.
Toropo says that the service will be for military significance as well as to give the significance to the day that that honours the first time a PNG national took up arms to fight alongside Australian troops against the Japanese advancement in one of the bloodiest campaigns along the Kokoda Track.
Toropo says that Remembrance Day should be a time for citizens to be thankful for the freedom they have as Papua New Guineans.
Meantime, the dawn service will be held at the Taurama barracks and then will follow through to the Remembrance day parade that will start at 8am at the Ela Beach Memorial Park.
