Local History Project Award - Victorian Community History Awards 2015.

The editors have undertaken a huge task of tracing and examining information from official records, newspapers and private papers and compiling them into a readable and informative, if daunting, two volumes. The experiences of those who served are accompanied by contextual discussions about the war, and insights into the families and networks they left behind in Horsham and nearby. The compilation of the names of those who enlisted and the local institutions with which they were connected, such as schools and churches, exhibits great industry.

On behalf of the Horsham Historical Society, the editors have produced a rich body of information that will be of great value to those in the future who study both the War and the history of the Horsham district.
