Crib Point RSL members hope to plant the seedling at the Crib Point cenotaph this week in readiness for Anzac Day.
Crib Point RSL vice-president Frank Penfold said the seedling was nurtured on a local property over the past four years.
The seed was brought to Australia after being found at the site of the World War I Battle of Lone Pine.
“This is a piece of Anzac,” he said. “So many people fought at Gallipoli and now we have a piece of Anzac history at Crib Point
.
“The tree will represent all those who lost their lives for Australia.”
President John Ord said the tree would become one of remembrance.
“The Battle of Lone Pine was very important during World War I,” he said.
Victorian Branch of the RSL CEO Michael Annett said growing a tree sourced from Gallipoli was a lovely gesture.
“When they dedicate that lone pine to reinforce that link with the actual landing it will all come into sharp focus as we approach the centenary of the landing in 2015,” he said.
“I am sure the community will support that commemorative initiative at the dedication ceremony this year.”
