World War I saw a host of young men sign up and leave their homes in Derby, Nabowla, Ringarooma, Legerwood and beyond for the battlefields of Europe.

Many didn’t return, but their memories remain in the Scottsdale War Memorial park, their names and hometowns listed on 368 plaques leading to the cenotaph.

But the path is incomplete: more names still need to be added.

Bruce Scott, president of the Scottsdale RSL sub-branch and Vietnam veteran, said since the first pathway was laid, more fallen North-Eastern soldiers had been identified.

Scottsdale Military Museum volunteer researcher Teresa Wood has been hunting for information and photographs of Tasmanian soldiers.

She is researching the years 1916-17, while another volunteer is working on 1914-15.

“You go to all those websites and you might find a picture and sometimes you might not,” she said.

Finding photos of each soldier will mean a visual presentation of all the North East Tasmanian soldiers can be completed in time for Anzac Day, she said.

Once each soldier has been identified and their service records tracked down and verified, their names will be added to the walkway.

Mr Scott said 28 more names will soon be placed alongside their peers.

“We missed them last time, because the records are not very good,” he said.

“There might be someone that went to the First World War but we might have missed their names and then the family might have moved on.”

Soldiers still without photos attached to their records include Basil Sydney Blair, from Launceston; Lavington Lewis Carter, from Derby; and Guy Reginald Findlay and Kenneth John Findlay, both from Ulverstone.

Ms Wood said families were “pleased, and quite proud” to see the names of their fallen family members on the walkway.

Last year a Sydney woman contacted Ms Wood asking for help verifying information about a relative in her family who had been a Light Horseman.

“She lives in Launceston now and she wanted to know if I could find his records for her,” she said.

“She gave me the details … his service number and name, that’s just what I had.

“I found it all for her and I rung up and said look I’ve got him here.”

Mr Scott said younger generations were becoming increasingly interested in tracking their ancestors who had fought in the World Wars.
