Frank Cahir DSM, MM -- “Dark in Complexion”: The Indigenous War Graves Workers -- “A Credible Officer befallen by Circumstance?” Captain Allen Charles Waters Kingston -- William Frampton McBeath (FC) -- Their Legacy.This book relays the largely untold story of the approximately 1,100 Australian war graves workers whose job it was to locate, identify exhume and rebury the thousands of Australian soldiers who died in Europe during the First World War. It tells the story of the men of the Australian Graves Detachment and the Australian Graves Service who worked in the period 1919 to 1922 to ensure that grieving families in Australia had a physical grave which they could mourn the loss of their loved ones. By presenting biographical vignettes of eight men who undertook this work, the book examines the mechanics of the commemoration of the Great War and extends our understanding of the individual toll this onerous task took on the workers themselves.Palgrave pivot.HistoriographyIslands of the Pacific—HistoryMilitary historyMemory Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711010Australasian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/716000History of Militaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000Historiography.Islands of the Pacific—History.Military history.Memory Studies.Australasian History.History of Military.940.394Cahir Fredauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut802227Weuffen Saraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autSmith Mattauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBakker Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autCaminiti Joauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483764503321Australian War Graves Workers and World War One2854591UNINA
