A century and seven years after the conclusion of World War I, a significant mission has been accomplished, honouring 106 forgotten diggers and a nurse who were laid to rest in unmarked graves at Orange Cemetery, New South Wales. Many of these brave individuals likely passed away without the closure of a service or the comfort of family by their side.
Sharon Jameson, a dedicated researcher, has played a pivotal role in bringing light to their stories, ensuring that these once-overlooked heroes are remembered. Their journey has now culminated in a profound recognition of their sacrifices.
This initiative serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of commemorating those who served, reinforcing a commitment to honouring our veterans, even those who have long been hidden from public memory.
