"These are the biographies of Griffith and District First AIF Returned
Soldiers/Settlers and their wives who came to this Area from 1916 onwards. It has been our earnest endeavour to cover as many of these families as possible. Sadly there are still many missing from this collection because over these nine years of preparation the families have not responded to the many invitations, made personally and through the local press, to include their story.
While every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible regarding this early
history, we are entirely reliant on peoples' memories and family traditions. While some might disagree about certain minor details, we feel that the overall picture of life and conditions during these early times, as depicted by the Contributors, is done so with
great clarity and integrity", from the Editors, Hilary Dalton (nee Millynn) and Wendy Polkinghorne (nee Bested).
