In 1914, when the world was shattered by war on a scale never experienced, the men from what we now know as the City of Vincent were keen to join the fight.
Following on from previous talks about these willing combatants and their contribution, the talks at the
Friends of ANZAC Cottage Open Day on
Sunday,
June 2,
2019 at
1:45pm and
2:45pm will reveal where some of these men were living when they answered their call to arms, their family situation and, in some cases, their fate.
The total impact of war
Their stories tell how war impacts not only on the fighter, but also their families, friends and even their descendants.
