This project commenced many years ago and invovled the photographing of every headstone and
plaque in the Bairnsdale Cemetery. This, together with the sextons records, registers and maps created
by the group provide the most complete record possible of those buried in the Bairnsdale cemetery.

of East Gippsland and the wider Australian Community
Many thousands of hours have been spent bringing this project to reality.
What we end up with is unique resources for future generations. A permanent website
with the names, biographies and photograph (where possible) of every East Gippslander
who lost their life as a result of their participation in the First World War is published to
our website: www.theirdutydone.com. This is an ongoing project and not all
biographies have yet been written.
