Albany-based Australian Defence Force cadet units received more than $12,000 in funding from the Albany Memorial Trust Fund, when the money was handed over by the Albany RSL. The fund sat inactive for 40 years and changed management organisations multiple times until it was eventually left with the Albany RSL to manage. In 2024, the RSL decided it was time to disperse the funds to members of ADF cadet units based in Albany. Justin Tilbee OC 505 ACU, and Albany RSL president Rex Hendriks. The cheques were presented by former City of Albany mayor Milton Evans and Albany RSL president Rex Hendriks.
