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.

At 1:45pm and 2:45pm, Anne Chapple will explore their experiences during their service, how the war impacted on their lives and their families, for those who returned home.
An overview of the men who went to war from the City of Vincent- where they lived, their occupations, their family situation etc.
More detailed stories of a selection of the men who went to war- their experience whilst in service and the aftermath of their service
The repercussions of their war service on their families told through their service records
