Services were held in Coleambally and Darlington Point, with the service at Darlington Point also taking the time to honour those who served as part of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) in Japan between 1946 and 1952 with the unveiling of a plaque.

RSL sub-branch secretary Nick Hutchins said the service in Darlington Point saw a good attendance.

"We had the whole local primary school there," Mr Hutchins said.

"The captain gave an address and that was good... I think it went well."

Mr Hutchins said the unveiling of the plaque was the culmination of six months work by the sub-branch, with 91-year-old member Bill Collins becoming the figurehead of the push for the plaque.

Mr Collins, who served as a part of the BCOF force during his Navy service, brought up the idea of a plaque with the sub-branch in May.

Mr Hutchins said through liaison with the BCOF Association of Australia, the sub-branch was able to organise and commission a plaque for the region.

The new plaque sits at the foot of the Darlington Point Cenotaph and Mr Hutchins said it was a "great privilege" to be able to help organise the addition of the plaque.

Army Chaplain Reverend Fay Fraser said the purpose of the plaque was to honour the men and women who helped to dismantle the military capability and capacity of Japan after the war and help rebuild.

"For the last three years [the force served in Japan], Australians were the sole contingent force," Ms Fraser said.
