PHOTOGRAPH
The proud faces of the veterans of Eureka stare at us from the photograph, taken in 1904, at the Jubilee Celebrations. They are so upright, so honest, and wearing the blue ribbons presented to them on this auspicious occasion so proudly.
We need your help to name all these old veterans!! Does anyone know of the whereabouts of any of the ribbons worn by these veterans to mark the 50th Anniversary of Eureka Stockade?
If you have any Eureka anecdotes or memorabilia please email Dot Wickham or Clare Gervasoni
A new book is on its way. It is titled "Eureka Commemorations". If anyone has anything about Eureka, however small or trivial you think it might be, we would love to hear from you!
If you have any additional information
which may help identify any veterans
in the above photograph, you can also email
