Bingara has always punched above its weight — and nowhere is that more evident than in the remarkable service record of its people during the conflicts of the post-war era.
Wars & International Conflicts 1946–2002: Features Bingara Defence Personnel Involvement is a powerful tribute to the men and women from the Bingara district who served their country across more than five decades of international conflict.
Written by Ron Irlam, assisted by Gael Penrose, and published by the Bingara Historical Society, this book shines a light on the personal stories behind the service records — stories that might otherwise be lost to time.
Among those featured are Stanley Brown, Robert Brown, Latty Bilsborough, Harry Wood, Tony Kennedy, David Brown, William Smith, Peter Eather, Brian O'Rourke, Robert Wilson, Graham Gosper, Richard Reading, Ray Barrett, Phillip Groth, Eddie Barnes, Marc Kennedy, Simon Kennedy, Tim Alexander, Jason Otter, Peter Rose, William King, Rhonda King, Howard King, Julie Bonarius, William Burns, Ian Wearne, Malcolm Hunt — and many others.
