WWI History on Display at RSL
Booklets on local service men and women from World War I are on display at the Oakey RSL until Sunday, and will be available on request at the RSL Library thereafter thanks to the work of local volunteers
The dossiers were compiled by St. Monica’s teacher Carmel Cooper and her daughter, and sourced from material found by Peranga's Theresa Fisher.
The material includes information of the service member’s Name, Age, Residence, Service Number, Unit, Date of Enlistment, Rank, Outcome of Service (whether they survived), Occupation Before Enlistment, Relationship Status and Awards.
Oakey RSL Sub-Branch President Mark Carter thanked the Oakey Historical Museum for the donation.
“RSL thanks the Oakey Historical Museum for performing this act of good will,” he said.
“They’ll go into our Library, being available for the community to review.”
Booklets have been compiled for the following servicemen and women (listed below with their surname and initials).
