Sandy the War Horse is the only horse to return to Australia after WW1, he was bred at Old Tallangatta and we're wanting a bronze memorial in the town to recognise this wonderful gesture of donating this local horse to the war.

They shot the horses – didn’t they? I don’t think I could stand the thought of my old fancy hack Just crawling round old Cairo with a ’Gyppo on his back. Perhaps some English tourist out in Palestine may find My broken hearted waler with a wooden plough behind. No, I think I’d better shoot...

There are around 1,500 memorials to WW1 across the country and Australia has been called a nation of small town memorials.

After WW1, Australia was a nation in mourning. It had lost over 60,000 dead and around 155,000 wounded, from a population of under 5 million.

Having to raise all their own funds, with no government help, grieving families and communities wanted to commemorate their loss. For small towns, it wasn’t cheap and it wasn’t easy to create a memorial.

A lot of the mass produced stone soldiers on the memorials were made in Italy and by Italian stone masons in Australia.

Unlike the United States of America, the bodies of Australia’s war dead were not returned home during WW1.

So, Australia’s war memorials held a special significance, as they often represented surrogate graves for soldiers whose bodies were buried in overseas war cemeteries or could not be located.

I took the photograph at the war memorial in Portland, Victoria, some years ago. The War Memorial was originally unveiled on the 6th of July 1930.

Lest We Forget.

We are all concerned.

We are all concerned.

I'm concerned about the latest crime data in Wodonga...
👉 Incidences of crime jumped 33%
👉 more than one in five were committed by school aged children
👉 There were almost 10 crimes a day

Join us on Wednesday night to have your say ...
