Veterans Organisations and Web Sites

ANZAC. One in five of the Australians and New Zealanders who left these shores between 1914 and 1918 (80,000 people) never returned. Of those who did come home, many carried physical and emotional scars for the rest of their lives. The aim of this site is to honour their memory. It is a comprehensive, multi-media presentation about World War 1.
