World War One memorabilia

Warilla Library recently hosted a 'Scan and Share' day to collect local World War One memorabilia and stories that will be included in the upcoming 'Illawarra Remembers' website.

The website will include histories and artefacts that tell the stories of the Illawarra World War One soldiers and the friends and families they left behind.

We received copies of some wonderful treasures including this card send from Jim Jenkins to his mother.

If you have any World War One memorabilia of stories of ancestors from the Shellharbour area we would love to hear from you.

Please contact Tongarra Museum - (02) 4256 6698, or email records@shellharbour.nsw.gov.au

    Isn't it cute? Even in the thick of the war he still had his sense of humour :) Lovely.
