This year\u2019s Anzac week will see two exciting events celebrating and commemorating the role of Cherbourg’s diggers in Australia’s armed forces.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, April 21, at 11:00am the Ration Shed Museum will be launching a new display outlining the involvement of Cherbourg in World War I.<\/p>\n

A century ago Cherbourg was known as Barambah, and 47 men from the area signed up to fight for the British Empire in far-away fields and deserts.<\/p>\n

The new exhibition is called “The Boys from Barambah” and it will be accompanied by a book, a website, a film and a suite of educational resources which will all be on display at the Ration Shed Museum.<\/p>\n

The launch will be attended by ex-soldiers and community elders who will come together to remember those who served and to pass on the spirit of Anzac to younger generations of indigenous and non-indigenous children.<\/p>\n

Many other dignitaries, politicians, local RSL representatives, organisations and schools will also witness the launch of the displays.<\/p>\n

“With The Boys from Barambah we’ve tried to capture the stories of our young Aboriginal men leaving their homes for the first time, going abroad to foreign lands to fight a war for the British Empire and the Australian nation – some of whom made the ultimate sacrifice – and then returning to their difficult lives under the Aboriginal Protection Act,” Eric Law, chair of the Ration Shed\u2019s Anzac committee, said.<\/p>\n

“The Boys from Barambah” contains many stories which are both interesting and unsettling. <\/strong><\/p>\n

One such story concerns a group of young men who enlisted only to find they were part of a publicity stunt to shame white men into joining the armed forces in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

They were sent back to Barambah after a few weeks, and then delisted on the grounds that they were not sufficiently “associated with white people”.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, April 25, an Anzac Day ceremony will be held at Cherbourg in the early morning.<\/p>\n

This event will see two significant moments: the re-naming of the Memorial Park as the “Boys from Barambah Anzac Park”; and the unveiling of a new honour board which acknowledges – for the first time – all the men who enlisted from the Barambah region.<\/p>\n

Organisers expect a significant attendance at the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
