In 2014, Major-General Mike O’Brien gave us a list of men with a connection to East Melbourne who had volunteered for the 1st World War.

As a result of enthusiastic volunteers, we now have an archive of around 600 war records. some of which we would like to share with you at our April meeting.

With Mike O’Brien as compere, five EMHS members will each tell a story drawn from our archives, of a local man who volunteered to fight and what became of him.
