Extension of closure of QFHS Premises 

Due to Cyclone Alfred, and the resultant difficulties on the roads and lack of power in some areas, a further decision has been made, for the safety of all concerned, to extend the closure of QFHS’s Resource Centre until Tuesday 18 March.   The Centre has been lucky and has only suffered a little water damage.

My thoughts are with all members and hope that you are all keeping safe.

Kevin Haley
President

The We Remember Them project will gather stories from our members focusing on the wartime stories in their family trees.  A virtual Honour Board will be created on this website to display an image of the individual and a few vital statistics. Each image will be linked to the story of that person’s wartime experiences. Read More
