The ceremony will be held at the Boer War Memorial at Rauch Park in Junction Street, Nowra at 4pm.

A short service will be held and wreath laying undertaken.

Well-known local bugler Peter Williams will again play The Last Post and Reveille.

Mr Williams plays his Boer War bugle at numerous Anzac Day services throughout the Shoalhaven each year, but the Boer War commemoration takes on special significance for him.

His wife, Maz, is a Boer War descendant.

She will be laying a wreath in memory of her grandfather, Jackson Hawksby who served as a mounted trooper in the Boer War.

"I'll be playing the Last Post on my battered old Boer War bugle," Mr Williams said.

"Just as Maz hears the Last Post played on my bugle, so may her grandfather had been inspired by the very same bugle played during his service in the Boer War."
