Kingston Avenue of Honour Names Changes for the New Obelisk
In preparation for the Centenary of the Planting of the Avenue, and the Centenary of the WW1 Armistice, on 11 November 2018, the current Obelisk will be replaced. Our very special thanks to Peter Rickard for undertaking the mammoth task of clarifying errors and anomalies. All names have been cross-checked to birth, marriage and death registrations held by the Victorian Public Records Office. The proposed changes, below, are based on official documentation. Descendants will have an opportunity to discuss these changes before they are published in Peter’s book later this year.
We invite you to carefully check the list again. There will be hard copies available at the Creswick Hub, the Information Centre, the Museum and the RSL website http://www.creswicksmeatonrsl.org.au/contact-us.html. If you consider there has been an error in the list below, please send your concern to [email protected] or Peter Rickard PO Box 220 Rosanna, Victoria 3084.
