Greater Shepparton City Council is working on an important project that will see the Mooroopna War Memorial upgraded and extended.
The memorial currently honours the names of WW1 veterans however does not acknowledge the contribution of local nurses or indigenous people to the defence of Australia and the project aims to address that.
New memorial panels will be designed and installed as part of the project which will commemorate the service of all Mooroopna and Ardmona soldiers and nurses during WW2, Vietnam and Korean Wars.
Council is asking the community to identify and put forward the names of anyone they know of who served and were either born in, enlisted in or returned to Mooroopna or Ardmona areas so that they can be considered for inclusion on the memorial panels.
If you are aware of anyone who should be included we ask that these be sent via the following email addresses;
