Some simply had no nearby relatives to bury them — perhaps because they were interstate.
Perhaps their family didn't realise they had to apply for a war grave. Many widows, in heart-rending circumstances, were pre-occupied with clothing and feeding their children.
Whatever the reason, we are dedicated to finding these soldiers' resting place. When we find them, we remember them with a simple pedestal headstone and a plaque that acknowledges their service.

Our work is made so much more effective by the staff of companies and government agencies who readily identify with our cause. In a practical way they do many things to help us, which we hugely appreciate.
We especially acknowledge and thank the following:

Cadet Unit
The Hon. Terry Stephens, MLC
