As a Centennial project we are trying to identify
all monuments/memorials/cairns dedicated to C & E personnel. The intention
is to create a photographic collage or display, using the National War
Memorial and the National Peacekeeping Memorial as the centrepieces. The
resulting display would be permanently exhibited in the C & E Museum.
Since there is no known data bank of this nature we are relying on memory and personal records
to compile the information. The list below is preliminary and incomplete, but
it does include input from the Curator of the C & E Museum. We would
appreciate any information from current and former members of the C & E
community that would help to expand on this list.
