Special tributes to the fallen have been delivered by Highlands students.
Representatives from Oxley and Chevalier Colleges, Bowral High School, Southern Highlands Christian School and Frensham placed flags on selected gravesites and memorial plaques in Bowral and Mittagong on April 23.

George Gladstone McDonald enlisted in World War I on August 25, 1914.
George, affectionately known as Gladdy, felt it was his duty to serve in the war. He was part of the Light Horse Squadron and departed for battle on October 20, 1914.
He served for four years and 195 days before he was discharged on February 4, 1918. More here.
