Captain Richard Vernon Saunders (14th October 1921 - 25th January 2022) was a World War 2 veteran, a gentleman and a great believer in community. A 'life well-lived” Richard was one of our few remaining World War 2 veterans. A man who served his country with distinction throughout the Pacific war. Lest we forget.

Local Diggers WW1 plaques. It has taken a lot of after hours work, but we have completed the plaques of WW1 Diggers who never came home. A few of the individuals are in addition to the names on our local war memorials.

The Northern Gold Coast RSL Sub Branch will be selling poppies and other memorabilia outside Woolworths Oxenford Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Please support our veterans. All funds raised help our local veterans.

Thank you to everyone who supported North Gold Coast RSL sub-branch sausage sizzle today at Bunnings Oxenford. Our master chef Ken (our local Sub Branch RSL president, plus he is a top bloke) was working overtime keeping up with the demand of cooked onions and snags. Due to COVID requirements, RSL Chaplain Don was master of the sauce bottles. He took great pleasure in decorating the snags with extra sauce. All funds raised help local veterans.
