Gippsland Memorial Park aims to identify all returned Service men and women from World War 1 who are laid to rest in Traralgon. In November a commemorative service will be held at the Cemetery in conjunction with the RSL. The public will be invited to honour and acknowledge all who participated in the Great War. As part of the project the Digital Shed will be helping people to identify their personal connection stop WW1 and record their own stories.
