Hundreds remember war fallen in Adelaide THE young and old have gathered in Adelaide to pay tribute to the fallen on Remembrance Day. ABOUT 300 people, including SA Premier Jay Weatherill, Opposition Leader Steven Marshall and Senators Penny Wong and Simon Birmingham, attended an RSL memorial service at the state War Memorial. Ex-navy serviceman Jim Warren, who served in Vietnam, has been attending the service in Adelaide for almost 30 years. He said it was heartening that young people were showing greater interest in the nation's military history. "It's good to see that the younger generation are actually starting to get back into the swing of things, as far as the Anzac and Remembrance Day services are concerned," he said. Mr Warren comes to remember his grandfather, who fought at the Somme in France during World War I. With the service winding to a close, he said he was looking forward to a quiet beer with mates at the nearby ex-services mess. Eight South Australians awarded the Victoria Cross for heroic deeds during World War I were commended at another ceremony in Centennial Park, the state's largest cemetery for returned servicemen and women.
