Year 09 - Australia at War: World War I - Humanities: Commemorating World War I

Commemoration played an important role in helping Australians to come to terms with the physical and emotional costs of World War I. This resource from the National Australian Archives provides the records from when these commemorations began.

The Australian War Memorial explains the history behind Remembrance Day, The Last Post Ceremony and ANZAC Day.

There are a number of memorials across the country where you can pay your respects and remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
