WA: Premier and students to visit France and UK for Anzac Day

West Australian Premier GEOFF GALLOP and 12 pupils leave today for France and Britain
where they will celebrate Anzac Day.

Dr GALLOP, four teachers and a dozen students from different schools around the state
will visit battlefields and memorials in France as part of the government-sponsored trip.

The trip will take in sites including Pozieres, Le Hamel, Fromelles and Villers Bretonneux,
where thousands of Australian soldiers died in World War One.

Dr GALLOP will give a keynote address at the Australian War Memorial at Villers Bretonneux
on April the 24th.

The next day, the group will attend the first dawn service to be held at the new Australian
memorial in London's Hyde Park, followed by a commemoration service at Westminster Abbey.
