Historical information

An amended Charter of Legacy was adopted at the Townsville conference 2007 and this certificate was signed on 1/7/2008 by the Chairman and Secretary of the Legacy Co-ordinating Council.
It says: The Spirit of Legacy is Service.
The care of dependents of those who served their country; namely, veterans who died on operational service, or subsequently, and Australian Defence Force personnel who died as a result of their service, affords a field for service.
Safeguarding the interests of dependents, especially children, is a service worth rendering.
Personal effort is the main essential:
In as much as these are the activities of Legacy, it is our privilege to accept the legacy of the fallen. Therefore you men and women who have accepted the legacy of the fallen, form you a Club to be known as Melbourne Legacy Club and keep fair the name of Legacy.
Date this first day of July in the year of our Lord 2008". Signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Legacy Co-ordinating Council.
