So many of our families arrived as ↑convicts; a few scoundrels to be sure but many were simply victims of circumstances and, ovewhelmingly, they adapted to their new life, they worked hard to create a future for their families and they helped create our wonderful island state. And so many more selflessly fought and some made the ultimate sacrifice, †, protecting their families and their future.
Convicts
and those who served in the:
First World War
Second World War
Korean War
Vietnam War
We salute them all.
Boer War
