Come and visit the Shellharbour Civic Centre this April to experience the moving tribute to the local soldiers who served in World War I.
Shellharbour City Museum is showcasing a special ANZAC exhibition throughout the month, featuring 114 vertical banners in the foyer, each banner honouring a local WWI soldier, creating a striking and moving honour roll.
"Honouring the brave soldiers from Shellharbour who served in World War I is a powerful reminder of their sacrifice and dedication,'' Shellharbour City Mayor Chris Homer said.

Visitors can explore more stories through the Shellharbour ANZACs 1914-1918 digital exhibition. Originally developed for the Centenary of ANZAC the online exhibition is also on display with the installation. It is also available to view online at anzacs.shellharbour.nsw.gov.au
"This exhibition allows us to reflect on their contributions and ensure their legacy lives on for future generations. By sharing their stories, we strengthen our connection to the past and reaffirm our commitment to remembering those who served," Mayor Homer said.
The exhibition will be on display throughout the month of April.
