An article by Carole Whitelock titled "Generation lost on battlefields" was published in the Advertiser on November 12th 2018.
The article discuses the St Peters Heroes Memorial and the plan to add the names of fallen Great War servicemen.
Last year the St Peters Residents Association applied for a grant in the 2017-18 round of funding from the Veterans SA - Anzac Day Commemoration Fund for the research, preparation and fixing of bronze tablets containing the names of the fallen Great War servicemen from the then Town of St Peters onto the St Peters Heroes Memorial in St Peters Street.
The memorial, erected in 1922 by citizens of the former Town of St Peters, is one of the few Great War memorials that does not feature the names of the fallen.
