World War II and the Hastings

Port Macquarie had a population in 1936 of around 1,300 people. The names of World War Two service personnel inscribed on the Port Macquarie war Memorial number nearly 500. Many of the names are of people who enlisted from surrounding areas, or who were connected in some way to Port Macquarie but may not have been born here or resident at the time.

This document gives service and some personal details of the men and women who served this country during World War Two and who’s names were put forward for inscription on the plinths surrounding the original War Memorial column.
