Golden Diggers Hill End Tambaroora NSW District's Contribution to the First World War by H Wood & L Purcell
This District, like so many other small country areas, was deeply affected by the Great War. The history of the area is synonymous with the great gold rush of the late 1800s. But Australia was given a greater treasure by this small country district - it come in the form of the sacrifice by the young men and women of the district who enlisted for World War I service.
This book provides a snapshot in time, telling the stories behind the 173 names on the district's War Memorial and Honour Rolls. As first-hand knowledge of their service diminishes with time, this book records their sacrifice for all time.
There is a biography for each person and in most cases a photograph of the soldier. The book would be of immense interest to anyone who has a connection to Hill End and Tambaroora .
Medal collectors would also find the large amount of biographies information and photographs in this book to be beneficial.
