The annual service is to remember the Australian Nurses who were massacred at Bangka Island in 1942 and other nurses who died due to enemy action in WW 11. The service is held at the SA Women’s Memorial Playing Fields at St Marys which are a memorial to these women. Two of the survivors later became Soroptimists.

The Trust has successfully completed the Bangka Day Memorial Service for 2021. This service was held in the grounds of Government House on 13 February. We were lucky to have a glorious day in the mid-20’s, a wonderful and inspiring guest speaker and a beautiful service with the army band and all branches of Defence Force in attendance. Thank you to the Soroptimists who attended and lent support to the Trust
