In 1917, Carina's
Grandfather enlisted to join the fighting on the Western Front in France
and Belgium. Why did he enlist when, at the age of 36, he was almost
exempt? Where did he serve? What would it feel like to follow in the
footsteps of those who served?
One Hundred years after World War
1 she journeyed to the Western Front to try to answer these questions
and fulfill a life long wish to attend the 100th anniversary
commemorations of the end of World War 1 at Villers-Bretonneux.
Join us as we learn of her family's story.

| The
Society has a number of maps, early sub-division plans
and aerial photographs of the district. Many of the
streets in the Waverley area originate from our early
pioneers, while the name "Waverley" and some
particular streets relate back to Walter Scott's Waverley
novels. If you are searching for the locality: Amstel,
Ashwood, Black Flat, Brandon Park, Brentwood, Burwood, Chadstone, Clayton North,
Glen Waverley, Jordanville, Mount Waverley, Mulgrave,
Notting Hill, Pinewood, Springvale North, Syndal, Talbot
Colony, Tally Ho, Waverley Park, Wellington, Whitburn or
Wheelers Hill, then maybe we have the information
you seek. You can search the origin of street names in
the Waverley area by accessing our on-line database. (If
you can add to the information we would welcome your
contributions).
