The normally banned form of gambling was widely played by Australian soldiers during the two world wars and has become synonymous with Anzac Day commemorations.
After the emotion and reverence of the morning’s commemorations, two-up ‘schools’ held across the country often become a place of energy and irreverent humour, with a serious focus on the two pennies in question, and the one at Shepparton RSL was no exception.
Back to school: Callum McIlfatrick and Jack Weimer, from Shepparton, enjoy the fun of the two-up school at Shepparton RSL.
