LOCAL south west men and women who served in World War I and II with distinction will be honoured with a plaque on a new War Memorial Wall at the Sam Fitzpatrick Gardens in Hamilton.

The wall to be unveiled on Anzac Day 2025 is yet to be built and has been made possible by a Department of Veterans’ Affairs Saluting Their Service Grant of $6600 received by HIRL in 2021.
