Shire’s solid way to honour Anzac

A DEDICATION ceremony on Anzac Day in Hastings will honour the life and service of a man who fought in both world wars.

Lieutenant George Mawby (or Morby) Ingram was a carpenter before joining the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force in World War I and saw service in New Guinea.

During World War II, he served with the Royal Australian Engineers, was appointed captain and went on to receive the Victoria Cross, Military Medal, service medals for the two world wars, and coronation medals for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.

After the war, he worked as a building foreman and farmer and spent his later years in Hastings.

Mornington Peninsula Shire last month laid a bluestone paver in Mr Ingram’s honour through a program of the Department of Premier and Cabinet to recognise Victoria Cross recipients. This complements an effigy of his life installed by the shire several years ago next to to the Hastings cenotaph.

The mayor Cr Bryan Payne said the shire worked with Hastings RSL to determine the “most fitting place for this paver in George’s honour”.

Cr Payne said Anzac Day was a time for reflection, gratitude and remembrance of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli.

“While Anzac Day is one of significant national pride, it is also a time for our community to remember the sacrifice so many have made for our country,” he said.

“We will remember not only the original Anzacs who served at Gallipoli, but commemorate more than a century of service by Australian servicemen and women.”

Anzac Day will this year be commemorated with marches and services in 13 towns across the peninsula:
