Again my gratitude.

A question what are the headstones made from? It looks like polished marble.

Bendigo Civil etc I am yet to go to. I had never heard of Swanwater so my guess it was at the back of woop woop is correct.

Will keep them in mind and add them to my lists.

Cheers

Received OK.

Grewer is the only CWGC casualty buried in Swanwater probably why you have not come across it, also seeing that she died in 1921 it had to be a war cause, see if I can find anything.

I used to work that area back in the 70's and still I had not heard of it. I will find it no problem when I pick up my outstanding cemeteries in Western Victoria.

 

I am going to add any miscellaneous shots to this thread from my recent trip to Sydney

First a couple of memorials to Punjab soldiers who died a few months after the end of the war, presumably in Sydney - maybe ex-POWs..

66 W/C NARU RAM 2/14 Punjabs – died 30 – 12 – 1945

 

A couple of memorials to artillerymen who died after the end of the war, presumably in Sydney

Lieutenant Francis Jack Needham Royal Artillery – died 23 July 1946

Gunner Reginald Cobden Shawyer Royal Marine Artillery – died 21 November 1948

 

Private Owen William Farrell 76595 Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force (2NZEF)

According to the CWGC, there are two Punjabi soldiers commemorated at Rookwood. The details for the first casualty match the plaque but the second one has a few details at variance.
