Remembrance Day will be observed this year on Tuesday, 11th November, 1997, and arrangements are being made for a Commemoration Ceremony at the Cenotaph, Martin Place, commencing at 10.40 a.m. The Premier has approved of ex-service men and women in the Government Services, who may be working that day, being allowed sufficient time off to attend the Ceremony wherever practicable, subject to Departmental convenience.

To mark this occasion, it is requested that two minutes silence be observed from 11.00 a.m. to 11.02 a.m. on Tuesday, 11th November, 1997. It is hoped that, as far as possible, this period of silence will also be observed in all Departments and Agencies.

Please bring this matter to the attention of your Department and any Sub-Department or Authority coming within, or associated with, your Administration.

C. Gellatly
Director General
