Book of Remembrance

Crows Nest Presbyterian Church produced a spectacular hand-crafted Book of Remembrance of World War 2 Veterans which is currently held at our church (the former Presbyterian church). It was prepared entirely by hand by a parishioner, George Greethead, who died on 16 May 1953.

In 2000, during the ministry of the Rev Dr Tom Plaizier, it was produced as a CD with the support of a grant from the Centenary of Federation North Sydney Community Projects (North Sydney Council).
