WW1 Rockdale Enlistees

PROJECT AIM

August 2014 marked the centenary of the commencement of the First World War (1914-1918)

With this in mind the aim is to centralize publicly-available information in recalling those enlistees - some of whom were recorded on

a local church or municipal honour roll, many of whom were not - associated with the NSW local government area known (since 1995)

as 'City of Rockdale' (Rockdale, Arncliffe, Banksia, Turrella, Bardwell Park, Kyeemagh, Brighton-Le-Sands, Sans Souci,

Kogarah (part), Carlton (part), Bexley, Bexley North, Kingsgrove, Monterey, Ramsgate, Dolls Point, Sandringham)

This is a non-commercial website and has no association with any similar project, local or otherwise - a community-minded effort,

entirely free to use - a format providing for remembrance, reference, and research if so desired.
