The Griffith War Memorial Museum owes its existence to the returned servicemen from WWI who became soldier-settlers in Griffith. They had the foresight to have the Crown Land dedicated as a war memorial. After WWII the returned soldiers, sailors, airmen and their families expressed a wish to establish a fitting memorial to those who served. It has only been possible to establish the museum because

of their and their offspring's commitment to remember the sacrifices that were made during the time of war.

Saturday 9/5/2026 was an extremely special day for the family of Private Michael Francis Paice, Distinguished Conduct Medal, who was awarded this medal for his heroism under fire in December 1942.

Michael passed away is 1956. This local bloke who went to war, came back a hero and no one knew until his story was passed onto the family today at the Griffith War Memorial Museum unveiling of a replica set of medals which are displayed for all to see.

On behalf of a grateful nation we thank Michael for his service.

They also share a common purpose in getting inked: to remember.
