Barraba Memorial Clock Centenary

Ian Small, author of The Kurrajongs – A work of fact and fiction, will be attending the Centenary Celebration of the Barraba Memorial Clock on the 11^th November 2024.

Ian is a passionate historian who has a keen interest in the Kurrajongs, a group of men who in 1916 left the NSW country town of Inverell to fight in the Great War. Many of these men became part of the 33rd, 34th, 35th and 36th Battalions of the 3rd Division of the AIF. 

Many of the Barraba and District WW1 Service Men also became members of the 33^rd Battalion.

Ian will be speaking at the Back to Barraba Dinner at the RSL Club on the 10^th November and will also be setting up a display of 33^rd Battalion memorabilia in the Old Information Centre on the morning of the 11^th of November. He will also have his book The Kurrajongs available for people to purchase. Ian said that he “Is looking forward to his trip to Barraba, to help celebrate the centenary of the memorial clock”.
