Albert Jacka's was the first VC awared to the AIF in World War I. He was born 1893 at Layard, near Winchelsea, but the family moved to Wedderburn when he was five.
William John Symons was born 1889 at Eaglehawk. We have placed a memorial stone for him near the Eaglehawk Town Hall.
William Dunstan was born 1895 in Ballarat East and won his VC for conspicuous bravery at Lone Pine.
We honour these brave men and all who have served throughout the years. Some came home and some paid the ultimate price. Lest We Forget.
