Redcliffe’s WW1 Veterans Remembered

The history of Redcliffe’s contribution to World War One was honoured when Federal Member for Petrie, Luke Howarth MP presented the Director of the Australian War Memorial, the Hon Dr Brendan Nelson AO with a book researched and produced by the Redcliffe & District Family History Group.

“Remembering Redcliffe’s First World War Veterans” commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the signing of the Armistice on 11th November 1918.

“The research and time spent on this endeavour is truly inspiring” Mr Howarth said.

“The collection of stories and historical accounts is now part of the Australian War Memorial’s collection and pays tribute to locals who fought in WW1”

The collection was edited by Dr Ted Flack and has been published in a hard covered leather bound book.

Additional copies of “Remembering Redcliffe’s First World War Veterans” have been published and are available to the public at the Redcliffe, North Lakes and Sandgate Libraries.
