Veterans in Bowen have gathered at the Bowen RSL last Thursday, July 27, to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Armistice of the Korean War.

Veterans of the Korean War Bill Barty and Garry Kirk attended the service with their family.

Both men are the only two surviving veterans of the Korean War in Bowen and were joined by ex and current military personnel from Townsville.

Mr Barty was a part of the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment, while Mr Kirk served in the Navy.

They were both presented with certificates of thanks for their service.
