The Great War Comes to Somerville

The Somerville & Tyabb District Historical Society approached us to design a book as part of the ANZAC centenary.

A local resident, Lisa Bayley, worked incredibly hard to source and collate information and stories about each soldier listed on the cenotaph in Somerville. This was no easy feat, as some soldiers were “just a name” and took a lot of research to even find basic details on.

Once she had all of the information she could find, we put it all together into a 130-page book, which is now a wonderful resource for our local community.

We acknowledge the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and play. We pay respect to their elders, past and present.
