​​Synopsis
​
A beautifully presented tribute by ARK Theatre, in conjunction with the Lilydale RSL Sub-branch, to the men and women of the Yarra Valley who served our nation during the First World War both overseas and on the home front.
Through songs, poems and sketches we share local stories of the times - including those of Madam Nellie Melba, Ralph Goode,
Mrs Aeneas Gunn, J D Burns and C J Dennis.

All funds go to the Seville War Memorial.
