Told by the people who lived them
In over 2000 interviews, this Archive encompasses our wartime history from World War One to Afghanistan. It includes the battlefront, the home front, media and entertainment, children, wives, workers and clerics. From signaller to Spitfire pilot, from SAS trooper to stoker, even to those who fought with us and against us; they are all represented in this collection.
What you will find on these pages are those interviews, with transcripts.
The Archive is an Australian Government initiative, commissioned through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. It is a unique, historical collection, a resource for everyone interested in Australia’s wartime heritage.
