Anderson Lloyd partner Frazer Barton spoke during the Remembering Passchendaele service at the Dunedin Railway Station yesterday.

Members of the Dunedin RSA choir sang at the ceremony.

It is done yearly to honour the 36 Otago soldiers who climbed out of the trenches at Passchendaele, Belgium, and flung themselves across barbed wire and mud-filled shell-holes against the German lines.

The railway station was the site where the men left on their journey overseas, Mr Barton said.
