The Illawarra Mercury has compiled the most comprehensive roll of honour to salute those diggers with a connection to the region who have died in war.
To date, we have more than 800 names and various other details.
Now we are seeking to expand this list to include photos of these men and the details and photos of other diggers not yet recorded.
We plan to republish the roll of honour near Anzac Day this year with photos where possible.
You can immortalise your relative or loved one by emailing us the following information and a photo of your relative for publication in the Illawarra Roll of Honour.
