Legacy is a national voluntary organisation of veterans, servicemen and women and other volunteers who are dedicated to the care of the dependants of Australian Defence Force members, after the death of a spouse or parent during service, and to Australian and Allied families after operation service. Legacy was formed in 1923.
Each year prior to ANZAC Day Legacy holds a special service for school students. This service combines education with commemoration and is attended by thousands of school children annually. All students are welcome to attend. The first service was held in 1932 - three years before the Shrine was opened.
