The Wooroolin Community Committee has received $1723 from the Federal Government’s Anzac Centenary Grants Program to restore World War I photographs.
Member for Maranoa Bruce Scott said the restoration and preservation of the images would ensure the stories of local residents who served would not be forgotten.
“Wooroolin is a small rural community which takes great pride in its history,” he said.
“The Memorial Hall was built by locals in memory of soldiers who did not return home to the area and, each year, more than 200 people attend the Anzac service held at the hall.
“This project will benefit the wider community – enabling everyone to gain an appreciation of the First World War’s impact on local families and the region.
“I look forward to viewing the restored images.”
