Camden History

CAMDEN REMEMBERS PROJECT

In the Camden District there are a number of Memorials and Monuments that contain the names of the men and women who served in the Armed Forces.

As part of Heritage Week 2009 Camden Remembers Project is a joint venture between the Camden Historical Society, Camden Library Services and the Camden Returned Services League Sub Branch, we are looking to put photos to the names.

Our goal is to create a comprehensive database of the Men and Women who served in the Armed Forces, Volunteer Defence Corps and Land Army in all wars and Conflicts including the present conflicts in Iran and Afghanistan.

To help us achieve our goal we are asking for your help in obtaining this information. If you have a relative who has served we would like the following information if you have it.
Name, Rank and Serial Number, the Unit they served in, Date of Birth and Place of Birth.

If you have any photos or other items of memorabilia of your experience at the Home Front or Overseas that you would like to share we would be only too pleased to copy and return.
This information along with a Photo of the person in uniform will form our database.

Maybe you could name one of our Unknown Soldiers.

Our ultimate aim is have the information available in a number of formats. We are creating a new Memorial Website called Camden Remembers and the photos will placed on "History Pix".

The Camden Library Services will be the collection point for this information; you can leave these items at the Camden or Narellan Library.
