The Darwin Military Museum has received a grant of $27,000 to produce and distribute a book, including a teachers' guide, about those from the Northern Territory who served in the First World War. The    Casuarina Secondary College has received a grant of $875 to assist them in conducting an Anzac 2015 commemorative week and service at the college. The Darwin RSL will receive a grant of $7,262 to correct the names on the First World War memorial at the Darwin Cenotaph. The Darwin Military Museum will also receive a grant of $5,275 to contribute towards the creation of a First World War display at the military museum.
