"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.
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 those who served.
34,959 soldiers enlisted in South Australia
in the Great War, in pictorial form.
