In less than one year the re-enactment commemorating one of the largest recruiting marches the country has ever seen is being held.

Setting off from Wagga on December 1, 1915 the march snaked its way through more than 30 towns and villages, taking almost 40 days to complete.

Up to 88 soldiers signed up in Wagga and numbered up to 230 when they reached Sydney.

Hundreds of the communities have gotten behind the re-enactment and are working hard to cater to the hundreds of marchers who will be taking part in the event.

The organising committee recently scored a windfall with a $37,000 grant from Department of Veteran Affairs Anzac Centenary local grants program.

Committee president Graham Brown told The Southern Highland News the funding would help in several ways, including to support distant descendants of World War I diggers to participate in the march.

Mr Brown said there were plans to leave a plaque at each stop during the march, while funds were required to hire equipment.

“We are most appreciative of the support for our project,” he said.

The re-enactment of the Kangaroo March left Wagga on September 5, 2015.
