The Wimmera community will remember the sacrifices made by servicemen and servicewomen on Monday as part of Anzac Day services in the municipality.
In Horsham, observations begins at 6.15am with a dawn service at Sawyer Park.
Later in the morning, a march form Horsham RSL begins at 10am with the main memorial service to take place from 11am.
