The Headstone Project: Restoring the ‘Tin Plate’ Graves of those who served Australia in WW1

In this QHM video, Army Chaplain Geoffrey Traill introduces the Headstone Project, which will identify and restore what are known as ‘tin plate’ graves to appropriately remember and honour those who served in World War 1.
Starting in the Queenscliff Cemetery at Point Lonsdale, the pilot project has researched 536 service people from the Queenscliff area. Of these, 139 are buried overseas or interstate, 397 are buried at the Queenscliff cemetery with at least 36 residing in unmarked or ‘tin plate’ graves. About one third of the cemetery is yet to be fully researched. More volunteers are needed to work on the Project.
