"Please Send Socks" Drama Production
The Dowerin District Museum would like to research and write a drama production telling some of the stories of Dowerin through the First World War, from the words of the men and women who lived through it.
We are seeking letters, diaries, postcards from those serving and those at home. The Dowerin Shire at that time included Wyalkatchem, Cowcowing, Koorda and Minnivale as well as smaller centres like Badgerin.
The First World War Honour Roll has 176 First World War names and there are more that could/should be there. A full list can be found below.
If you have any resources or stories, please help us tell their story.
