"These deeds which should not pass away. Names that must not wither.
The Last Post sounded, the soldier sleeps who died in honour.
Only those who have loved and lost, can understand war's bitter cost.
Oh for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice so still.
When days are dark and friends are few,
My Dear Son, How I long for you.......
No dear one's stood beside him to hear his last farewell.
While he lies in silent sleep, his memory we will always keep"

Commemorating those who served in the Great War
This site is dedicated to commemorate the lives of those who served
in the Great War in pictorial form.
in the Great War in pictorial form.
With the upcoming 100th anniversary of the beginning of the Great War
I felt it was appropriate that a site should be made available with photographs
of not only those who made the supreme sacrifice for their country,
but also all who served.

State Records quoted a cost of between $15,000 and $65,000 to purchase copies
of the 3,000 photographs that they hold of WWI servicemen - unfortunately beyond my budget!!!
These names are currently being added to the website for your information
