The Alexandra-Clyde RSA will hold a special dawn service on Anzac Day to celebrate the centenary of the Gallipoli landings.
The service will include an opportunity for people to walk up to Clyde Lookout while veterans' recorded recollections of the Gallipoli landings were played in the dawn light.
Organiser Tim Cadogan said the hill climb was reminiscent of the events at Anzac Cove.
He said the climb ''pays tribute to the guys who had to do it and be shot at''.
The idea stemmed from Mr Cadogan thinking about how to celebrate the 100th anniversary.
The walk will be in addition to the usual Anzac service. He said the walk was a good way for children participating with their parents to understand what the soldiers had to endure.
''I think that will really create a memory of what happened,'' he said.
Track walkers will meet at the Holloway St miners' memorial at 6.30am.
Those not able to walk up can meet at the Clyde Hotel at 6.40am to be taken to the lookout by bus, ready for the service at 7am.
Buses will return to Clyde School for the usual Anzac service, including a march to the cenotaph for a wreath-laying ceremony.
A torch is recommended for those walking up and children must be accompanied by an adult.
People are advised to bring their own seating, if required.
• To celebrate the centenary, the Teviot Valley Community Board will plant oak trees after Anzac services in the King George Memorial Park playground, Roxburgh, Millers Flat recreation reserve, Millers Flat, and on Sunday, April 26, at 2pm at Ettrick Hall.
Restoration work has also been completed on the Roxburgh war memorial, at a cost of just over $2000, to coincide with the Anzac centenary.
A service will also be held to unveil an oak tree and plaque behind the Chatto Creek tavern, on Sunday at 5pm, to mark the centenary.
