Tumby Bay RSL

The RSL was initiated in 1916 to provide for Australian Servicepeople returning from war, under the Tenet “To preserve the spirit of mateship formed amidst men and women during any time of war in which they were present, and to Honour the memory of those who died and assist each other and those who had been injured.”

Although active as a sub-branch in Tumby since then, it was in 1953 that we raised the necessary funds to build our own RSL Clubrooms on Lipson Road, which the community, Members and Affiliates have successfully run since then.
