Cr Petty stressed it will be a living document, with more information added as future editions roll out. Each print run will be small to allow for amendments.
He said the book serves as a lasting legacy of the committee as it winds down now that its work is done.
“It was a fantastic group to be involved in.”
RSL Sub-branch president Dave Stewart said all due credit goes to Jan Friar for the enormous amount of research she undertook. He expects more information to come from family connections as the book is circulated.
It’s available now at the council office for $35.
