Details on the compilation of a WW1 Soldier databse from the Ballarat & District have been posted on the web at: http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/ww1dbase.htm Message Reads: "A database of photographs (with biographies) of World War I soldiers, sailors, airmen and nurses from Ballarat and District who died whilst on active service is currently being compiled. At this stage more than 630 images have been collected. An index to the Ballarat 'Courier' for WWI (1914-1919) is also available and includes more than 16 000 entries. It is intended that the photographs and biographies will be incorporated into a fully inter-active CD-ROM. If you have photographs, diaries, letters etc., of a family member, from our area, whom you would like to see included in the database please contact: Amanda TAYLOR - e-mail: <[email protected]> Please don't hesitate…these are valuable records that need to be preserved and treasured by the whole community!
