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. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aCollective memory 606 $aAustralasia 606 $aHistory 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aMemory Studies 606 $aAustralian History 606 $aMilitary History 615 0$aCollective memory. 615 0$aAustralasia. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 14$aMemory Studies. 615 24$aAustralian History. 615 24$aMilitary History. 676 $a940.394 700 $aCahir$b Fred$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0802227 702 $aWeuffen$b Sara$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSmith$b Matt$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBakker$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCaminiti$b Jo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483764503321 996 $aAustralian War Graves Workers and World War One$92854591 997 $aUNINA
