Appendix 8 Key commemorative dates — 2014 to 2018


This appendix provides an overview of significant anniversaries that will occur between 2014 and 2018. The first section outlines annual commemorative dates. The second section outlines one-off dates to commemorate significant battles, victories and events throughout the centenary period. Annual commemorative dates have not been repeated in that section.

The Commission acknowledges that, although the greatest care has been taken to ensure that the dates of significant battles, victories and events are referenced within this appendix, the appendix is not all-inclusive. There may be a number of other dates that may be commemorated throughout this period.
