The ANZAC photo exhibition officially opened this Monday, with attendees hearing from Deniliquin RSL Sub-branch member John Trist and military researcher Neil Smith AM.
The two veterans shared insights into the lives of Deniliquin soldiers and the roles they played in various conflicts.
The Genealogy Society said the exhibition offers an opportunity to reflect on the service and sacrifice of local men and women, while also preserving important family and community stories.
The group extended thanks to the Edward River Library for its support in hosting the display, and to its members who provided morning tea for guests.
The exhibition is now open to the public during library hours.
