Fromelles Database

Hi All,

Just a short announcement to let everyone know that a web page (very simple and basic) has been set up in an effort to locate current living descendants of the missing Australian soldiers most probably buried at Pheasant Wood, Fromelles.

As most of us are aware, an archaeological dig is planned for the site within the next month or two and the results hope to uncover the remains of some of these men. Although it is still unclear what steps will be taken if/when the remains are located, the indication is that, where possible, every attempt will be made to identify each individual.

With the recent success in Belgium of identifying Great War remains, this website aims to locate as many descendants as possible with a view to presenting the results to the Army History Unit for future reference should further research be considered in this case.

You’ll currently find the website at: http://users5.nofeehost.com/fromelles/ but depending on the interest it might find a more permanent home sometime in the future.

If you think you might be able to assist, we’d love to hear from you.

Cheers,
Tim L.
