Inscription Roll In memory of the sons of Italian families that settled New Italy in 1882 who served in the Australian Imperial Forces in World War 1 1914 - 18 In memoria dei figli delle familgie Italiane stabilite a New Italy nel 1882, che hanno servito nelle Forze Imperiali Australiane della Prima Guerra Mondale 1914 - 18 [Names] Lest we forget Wall information 1 By the time World War 1 broke out in 1914, many of the Italian families who had settled the New England area from 1882 onwards had moved away. While some resettled in surrounding areas, others moved further afield - to Queensland and around NSW. Certainly, the first generation of young people born into those families, particularly the young men, needed to pursue work opportunities away from New Italy. Wall information 2 It was these young men, all with Italian parents, who were confronted with the "call to arms" as Australia formed the Australian Imperial Force - the 1st AIF - was to join the British forces in Europe. This project was supported with funding from the Australian Government under the ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Program. 100 Years of ANZAC The Spirit Live 2014 - 2018.
