Kendall sub-branch president Lance Gainey said he was proud to see people lining up for Thursday's service.

"They were actually helping us to set up, they got here that early," he said.

"And we had in excess of 250 people for the drawn service, and we are really pleased with that turnout."

Mr Gainey said dawn services had died out for over 40 years in Kendall before it was reintroduced to coincide with the centenary of Anzac Day in 2015.

Four hundred people turned up to help the sub-branch acknowledge the significance of the day.

"The following year we had about 100 people and now the crowd is continuing to build," he added.

Mr Gainey estimated over 500 people attended the commemoration service.

"We are very pleased with that because this is a very small community, but we get really good support.

"We are also the only sub-branch in NSW that has a pony club representation as part of our service too.

"Overall, it is really pleased to see so many children coming along and participating in the day," he said.

"The school and pre-school do a fantastic job supporting this event."

Mr Gainey said the sub-branch wanted to thanks to the Kendall community for their ongoing help and support.

In particular, he wanted to acknowledge the Kendall Public School and the pre-school for their involvement.

"Did you see those little pre-schoolers come up and lay a wreath? Wasn't that wonderful," he added.

Camden Haven High School captains Xanthia Hughes and Hugh Rackley provided speeches and their thoughts on the meaning of Anzac Day.

Hugh said Anzac Day was about remembering the sacrifices serving personnel gave to Australia.

"Their stories have become our history and our nation is shaped by their collective memory," Hugh said.

"The landing at Anzac Cove remains an integral part of Australian culture."

Xanthia said the life lessons of these brave heroes underpin our current society.

"These men and women were the hopeful futures of their era just like we are today," she said.

"They were someone's loved ones, so today we remember those who served their country.

"Anzac spirit now lives on because of their efforts."
