Australia Post keeps the torch burning for Legacy
Australia Post is honouring 100 years of Legacy Australia through a commemorative stamp issue featuring the iconic Legacy torch symbol.
Legacy was established in 1923 by a small group of World War I veterans, and continues to offer much-needed support to women, children, and veterans who have been affected by the death or serious injury of their loved ones.
Today, Legacy cares for 40,000 beneficiaries through its network of 3,400 volunteers across Australia. Legacy volunteers embody the ethos of “keeping the promise”, wearing the Legacy torch symbol upon a pin with pride.
“Australia Post is proud to continue championing the work of Legacy,” said Michael Zsolt, Group Manager, Philatelic. “The torch represented on this stamp issue signifies the undying flame of service and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for their country.”
Legacy Chairman, Eric Easterbrook said, “This stamp issued by Australia Post is a wonderful way to pay tribute to all the people that have been involved with Legacy over the past 100 years, from beneficiaries to volunteers.”
To commemorate the centenary year, Legacy will carry out the Legacy Torch Relay over a six-month period, beginning in Pozières, France in the lead up to ANZAC Day 2023, and then throughout the city of London, before returning home to Australia and stopping at all 44 Legacy clubs, starting in Western Australia in May 2023.
