Every name on the cenotaph was a son or daughter, a brother or sister, a husband or wife, a friend, a comrade. Each one carried dreams & ambitions, hopes & fears, just as we do today. Their absence left families grieving & communities forever changed.

As we pause to remember those who gave their lives, let us see beyond the numbers or just the names. Each had a unique journey, their own reasons for serving, and their own vision of what the future might hold. By honoring their individuality, we truly grasp the weight of their sacrifice and the enduring legacy they entrusted to us.
