Vice president of the Maitland RSL Sub-Branch Fred Goode said the showing of more than 300 people included a number of young veterans and their families.
“It was great to see them there with their families,” Mr Goode said of the contingent of younger veterans.
“All up it was a very strong roll up. It was good day.”
