Two guest speakers were at the services: Kerry Morley and Warrant Officer Ray Sangster of the Royal Australian Navy.

Ms Morley is the great granddaughter of Victorian Cross recipient Sergeant Percy Clyde Statton who was raised in Beaconsfield.

Former Beaconsfield RSL president Greg Amos said Ms Morley's speech centered around how Sgt Statton earned his VC.

"It was quite moving in fact what she said," Mr Amos said.

A plaque was unveiled by Ms Morley to honour Sgt Statton.

Mr Amos said this year's dawn service was the town's biggest, with about 500 people attending.

"It was a great service," he said.

West Tamar Council mayor Christina Holmdahl attended the service, giving a speech on another Beaconsfield hero: Corporal James 'Dummy' Armstrong who was executed at a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Timor during the Second World War.

Exeter's Anzac Day services displayed the ever-growing reverence for servicemen and women past an present from Tasmania's younger generations.

Exeter RSL Service Community Club president Tim Evans said close to 500 people attended Exeter's dawn service.

"It was a very good roll-up, we're very pleased with turnout that we had," Mr Evans said.

"A lot of young people this year, it was really good."

Both the dawn and morning services were aided by Exeter High School students.

Exeter Primary School pupils lent the voices to the morning service.

"It was fantastic to see, my word," Mr Evans said.

"Every year we do get a really good roll-up of the young down at this service.

"It's good to see our younger community show their respect, they like to see what it's all about."

A focus of the day's ceremonies was the infamous Battle for Fromelles, the first battle involving Australian troops in the Western Front of the First World War.

Mr Evans said the battle was very important for all Tasmanian's serving in the war.
