Bidgeemia Memorial Hall and Honour Roll
Description
Built by the soldier settlers after the 1914-1918 war in 1926. This hall is only a matter of about 20 Kms from the Urangeline Peace Hall. For the centenary of ANZAC 2015, it was repaired and dedicated as a memorial.
In 2016, the honour roll was unveiled.
More information on soldiers from the area can be found in local historian, Christopher Madden's book, Land Fit for Heroes – the story of the Urangeline Soldier Settlements (Riverina NSW).
