The local football club designed the guernsey to be filled with as many names of those who fought for our freedom, which the club wore on its Anzac Day match.
Evandale Historical Society organised the towns commemoration, with chairman Laurie Wotherspoon saying more than 1000 attended the two services.
“We had a good amount turn up for the Dawn Service. The hall was full and I reckon there were about 500 here then too,” Mr Wotherspoon.
The group also hopes to fill the lawn near the mural with red poppies in years to come.
“We made over 500 … It’s the first time we’ve done it and we’ve sold them all.” Mr Wotherspoon said.
