Former Australian Army signallers will gather at the Australian War Memorial to mark the 100th anniversary of The Royal Australian Corps of Signals (RA Sigs) this Anzac Day, Friday 25 April.
The Royal Australian Corps of Signals was officially formed in 1925, creating a group of signals intelligence for the Australian Defence Force (ADF)'s operations around the world.
RA Sigs will lead the march, registrations are almost closed for the Anzac Day RSL ACT Veterans' March and individual participants are invited to take part in this national commemoration.
"We are encouraging all to mark with us this Anzac Day," Director of the Australian War Memorial, Matt Anderson, said.
"Current and former Australian Defence Force, Commonwealth, or Allied force veterans, along with their relatives, are eligible to march, even if they are not part of a formal group or association,"
RSL ACT CEO Kimberley Hicks said the march provides a unique opportunity for individuals and families to pay tribute to those who served.
"Marching on Anzac Day is a tribute to those who served and sacrificed," Ms Hicks said.
"We want families and individuals to be part of this National Ceremony in Canberra. Thousands of current serving Defence members in the capital continue to make sacrifices for our nation, and we encourage them to take part as well."
The march will commence at 9.30 am on the Parade Ground of the Australian War Memorial, with an address delivered by Major Angela Uphill, a physiotherapist from the 2nd Health Brigade.
Australian War Memorial Director Matt Anderson said Major Uphill's speech would be a defining moment of the day.
"Her story is one of courage and resilience. I have no doubt she will leave the crowd spellbound," he said.
The guidelines outline the eligibility requirements and provide general information for registered participants. Eligibility to march and general information can be found in the Anzac Day Veterans' March Guidelines.
