I was looking for Dorset in England .... but came across this site .... how cool is this ? ... I think it's wonderful !! ON 15th October 1918 a ceremony was held in the railway reserve at Ringarooma Road (Renamed Legerwood in Dec.1918). 9 trees were planted to honour soldiers killed in World War 1 As the names of the fallen were called out , a relative or near relative came forward to hold the tree until it was planted. Douglas Fir –Alan Andrews, Giant Sequoia– Thomas Edwards, Deodar—William Hyde, Giant Sequoia-Robert Jenkins, Deodar– John McDougall, Douglas Fir-George Peddle , Deodar-John Riseley , and a Weymouth Pine at each end of the avenue for Gallipoli and the Anzacs. http://www.dorsetonline.org.au/trees.htm
