The Cherbourg Historical Precinct Group has received a State Government grant to take its “Boys From Barambah” Anzac project into schools.
The group has received $19,980 for “Anzac Alive! – Boys from Barambah for Schools” as part of the latest round of Anzac Centenary grants.
All up, $190,000 in grants were announced on Thursday to help commemorate the Anzac legacy.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the grants honoured the service of Queensland men and women in World War I as well as other significant military anniversaries.
“Through our grants program, local groups are able to explore new and engaging ways to honour Queensland’s military involvement and pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice,” she said.
Rosalie Shire Historical Society will receive $8452 for “Goombungee Remembers”.
“Local stories really get to be heard through these grants, with organisations like the Rosalie Shire Historical Society receiving over $8000 to profile local First World War soldiers in a book, on banners and through digital archives,” Ms Palaszczuk said.
Round 4 of the Spirit of Service grants program, offering grants of up to $20.000 is now open and closes on October 15.
The Lasting Legacies grants program for larger projects is also open, offering grants between $20,001 and $80,000, with Round 6 closing on January 28.
