Australian War Memorial

During the First World War, Australian troops were officially encouraged to collect relics of the battles in which they had fought. That tradition of acquisition and preservation continues today, enhancing the written record of war, and has produced one of the finest military artefact, document and media collections in the world. This web site makes some of those collections accessible on-line to everyone for the first time.
