Deniliquin War Cemetery Print Page

The War Cemetery contains the graves of Royal Australian Air Force (R.A.A.F.) Crew who died or were killed while based at Deniliquin during World War Two. There is also a plaque listing the names of airmen who are buried in the General Cemetery. 

The cemetery was originally established in 1946 and re-opened in 1998. 

Last week members of the War Grave Unit were in Deniliquin and erected a sign at the entrance to the Deniliquin War Cemetery giving it its designation. Cpl N. Fox, who was in charge of the party and who has done a great amount of work there, expressed his appreciation for the willing assistance given in the supply of water tanks by the Municipal Council, and Conargo and Windouran Shire.
