🎖️🕊️ Exciting Announcement 🎖️🕊️

We are thrilled to reveal all three covers for Brendan Bateman's forthcoming Drummoyne's Great War volumes, a meticulously researched work that honours the lives of the ninety-five men commemorated on the Drummoyne War Memorial who served and fell during the First World War.

These landmark volumes, written with both legal precision and a historian's passion, provides an unparalleled insight into the personal stories and enduring sacrifices of these ANZACs. It is a tribute to their courage, service and legacy.

This significant project would not have been possible without the generous support of Drummoyne Five Dock RSL, whose funding has ensured these volumes will be published in time for ANZAC Day 2025. Their commitment to preserving the legacy of our soldiers is deeply appreciated and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of community in safeguarding our shared history.

Stay tuned for more updates as we approach this significant release. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a local of Drummoyne or someone who values the preservation of Australia's wartime legacy, this series promises to be a compelling and meaningful addition to your collection.
