Singleton’s Red Cross Branch to mark the centenary of Armistice Day November 11, 1918 held a Baking for the Battlefield gathering.
Featuring bakes of the era and memorabilia from that time 140 guests filled the hall to capacity.
Guest speaker was the School of Infantry’s Major Timothy Butcher who spoke about his overseas service comparing it to the vastly different challenges encountered by those serving our country during WW1.
It must be remembering that many young men from Singleton left in 1914 and didn’t return until more than four years later, and some of course died where they fought.

From cattle to coal. Once a specialist agriculture writer today its about community, in particular, the Upper Hunter. I have lived and worked in the region for more than 30 years. Land use issues and the future direction of our region. But you cannot take ag out of the picture - our food and how we grow it is the basis of all life. Covering the Hunter and Mid North Coast rural issues is now part of my role with ACM.
