WORLD WAR 1  - Ancestor Stories

WANTED: Your Family's Story

Do you have a male or female ancestor who was involved in World War 1? Then we want your family’s story! 

As a part of the World War 1 Centenary Mural, we are creating a website with educational materials for students. Although our mural will follow the story of one digger, Ralph Goode, we are including stories from the wider school community. 

What can you do? Put together a digital document (word/pages file or powerpoint/keynote file) with a brief biography of your ancestor. You can include photos of the person, their medals, transcripts of diaries or letters or any information that you feel is relevant to telling the story of your ancestor.  

Send the digital document to the school email address lilydale.hs@edumail.vic.gov.au with 'WW1 Ancestor Story' in the subject line and we will include your family’s story on our dedicated World War 1 Mural website.
