Brian has been a long-time volunteer for RSL Victoria and has been instrumental in planning ANZAC Day over the
past 30 years.
His volunteer work also spans other commemorative services RSL Victoria conducts throughout the year, including Remembrance Day.
In his so-called spare time, Brian is the Museum Curator at the Upwey-Belgrave RSL and was made a Life Member of the League in 2017.
Outside of the RSL, Brian also generously gives of his time to the Country Fire Authority (CFA).
It is said of Brian, “give a busy person a job and it will get done – if you give Brian a job you know it will not only get done, but it will get done well.”
“I’m just so proud to be here,” said Brian.
