The centenary of the first Anzac Day was marked at a commemorative service at the weekend.
St Paul’s Church hosted the service for Australian and New Zealand citizens, many of whom came to the city for medical treatment during WWI and are buried in the Hatfield Road cemetery.
The service also remembered those of other Commonwealth countries who are buried a the cemetery.
The Mayor of St Albans Geoff Harrison joined veterans and local cadet forces at the service.
Councillor Harrison said: "The First World War involved devastating loss of life and destruction.
"It also saw incredible acts of heroism and bravery in nearly every corner of the world. The centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign remembers the sacrifice made by so many, not least the contribution of Commonwealth troops including the Anzac forces from Australia and New Zealand.
"It was fitting that the service took place in Hatfield Road cemetery where servicemen from Australia and other Commonwealth countries who served in the first World War are buried."
