Annandale's Great War: A Short Walk is Marghanita da Cruz's third book in a series.
This book provides a self guided tour of the numerous World War 1 honour boards and memorials around Annandale. It is about Annandale in the decade between 1910 and 1920, when over 1200 locals left as members of the Australian Imperial Force or to join British regiments.
This edition has been expanded to include the extraordinary stories of indigenous digger Douglas Grant and the Wireless Miller Brothers. It also covers the Rozelle Tram Sheds memorial.
At home, there were other battles over conscription and between modes of transport.
Marghanita da Cruz has been gathering an anecdotal
history of Annandale, at "Annandale on the Web"
since 1998.
Marghanita guided this short walk as part of the
Annandale Heritage Festival on 21 April 2013.
