'Honouring the Boys from Barambah is a 17 minute film which tells the amazing story of the contribution of our small community (Cherbourg, formerly known as Barambah) to the Great War of 1914-18.'
'It pays tribute to the bravery of our Black Diggers and shows the community’s efforts to pass on the spirit of the Anzacs to the younger generations. It touches on issues such as racism and enlistment, the hardships of returned Indigenous servicemen, personal stories of war and service, and it honours the individual stories of the Boys from Barambah.'

biography
'The centenary anniversary of World War 1 gives us the opportunity to reflect and honour all Australian servicemen and women, and finally give our Indigenous servicemen the recognition they deserve. The essence of the Boys from Barambah project is to help our community (in Cherbourg and the South Burnett) and the wider Australian community to remember and celebrate those Barambah/Cherbourg men who served in WW1, and acknowledge the commitment and strengths they showed to overcome the difficulties encountered. It is important to us to pass on the spirit of the Anzacs to the younger generations of Indigenous and non-Indigenous children.' (Source: TROVE)
