Fed: Diggers don't want more descendants in Anzac day marches

Some World War II veterans are resisting an RSL push to have more descendants of diggers
join Anzac Day marches.

A Fairfax newspaper says many surviving veterans are concerned families could take
over the occasion.

Veteran's complaints have arisen after New South Wales RSL president .. DON ROWE ..

warned the Anzac Day march could die out as more World War II diggers approach their 90s
.. unless new marchers are admitted.
