As you are aware, the Museum is undertaking a research program to identify those World War 1 servicemen with Paynesville connections to the maritime industry. Rather than leave this material to be published “sometime in the future” as a book, we have decided to issue a short news bulletin as each of the 100 years anniversary dates of relevant activity comes around …. much the same as the news would have been circulated around the town at the time.
Here is the latest issue reporting the loss of Thomas Haylock. Current bulletins are pinned to the ANZAC board in the museum and a book of all issued bulletins will be available for interested visitors to look through.
As always, we welcome comment and input if you have some.
