Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor has visited Goulburn’s WW1 Remembrance Corridor where students from Mulwaree High School have laid new plaques to recognise Goulburn and district men killed at Gallipoli.

Mulwaree High School received an Anzac Centenary Grant from the Federal Government in 2015, enabling Year 9 History students to lay 41 new plaques that recognise local contributions to WW1.

“It is great that the students from Mulwaree have been able to recognise and pay tribute to our fallen local heroes in such a way,” Mr Taylor said.

The new plaques acknowledge 31 men killed at Gallipoli from Goulburn and surrounds, three men who died at Turkish prisoner of war camps and Goulburn men with bravery post-nominals.

The Remembrance Corridor, along McDermott Drive, features Australian native trees in recognition of every Goulburn and District service man or woman killed in active service during 20^th century conflicts.

The remembrance museum at the school also includes a growing collection of military memorabilia from the Goulburn area, totalling about seven thousand items.

“This is a great way for the contributions of our service men and women to be recognised and remembered, and it is especially important that it is preserved for the younger generation,” Mr Taylor said.
