On Anzac Day 2023, this day of all days, the Headstone Project remember all Australian and New Zealand servicemen and women who have served this country in times of war and peace. We especially remember those who returned from the First World War and are currently lying in unmarked graves around this country. We recommit the resources of our organisation to identify all Australian Defence Force veterans who served in World War I and rest in graves that do not recognise their service, and memorialise their contribution.
They served. They deserve to be remembered.

Thank you for keeping the memory of these great heroes alive Lest We Forget . Unfortunately in Western Australia Our government is actually bulldozing Our main cemetery including WW1 AND WW2 Soldiers 10000s of family gravestones have been removed When you see the Minister can you bring up this issue up with him for us Our group Saving Family Headstones would appreciate any help you can offer ,thank you in advance #savingfamilyheadstones@karrakatta
There was recently a call out in a local paper for families around the north, can you please share that so we can share on our page. Thank you.
Big shout out to one of Tasmania's largest companies Hazell Brothers hazellbros.com.au/ for their kind donation of building material that is used to make our headstones. Donations such as these make it just that bit easier for our small team to get our core business done - constructing headstones to remember our returned First World War servicemen. Thanks Hazell Bros!
