CHINKAPOOK paid tribute to the men who enlisted to serve for Australia in World War I with the unveiling of a plaque on Anzac Day.
More than 300 people turned out to the Chinkapook-Eureka Cemetery to pay tribute to the soldiers who had previously been shunned when it came to formal memorial or honour board acknowledgement.
Chinkapook Cemetery Trust secretary Joan Vivian said the initiative was a way to pay tribute to the 22 men who enlisted at Chinkapook.
“It was a beautiful service and the amount of people who supported it was great,” she said.
