This Google map shows the burial or memorial places for the Deseronto men who died during the First World War.
This memorial project has revealed a lot to us about the Deseronto people who were directly involved in the First World War. For many of those who lived through this conflict, their lives would be forever altered by the loss of loved ones, friends, and health.
Our thanks to all those who have contributed additional information and family stories about these people, who would otherwise just be names in records. It has been an honour to learn about them all and to reflect on their experiences.

Thank you Amanda for instigating and organizing this amazing project over the past five years. Such an addition to our knowledge of the community and the people who have called it home. You have now put a real face to our First World War story.
