Thank you Lachlann for your kind words. It’s hard to believe that the war lasted for so long. We too are glad that it is now over. We are also sad for the lasting impact that the war had on the Orange district.

Thank you Tony for your support. It has been interesting to see how the First World War impacted on the lives of the people of Orange and district.

If he’d lasted another month he’d have been going home.

Yes Neil, suicide during and after the war was a recognised problem, but went largely unreported. Several of the district’s men died post-armistice from physical wounds. Many others, nurses included, suffered the ongoing effects of what is now known as post traumatic stress disorder.
