Queensland's WWI Centenary blog
There are thousands of stories to tell about the Queensland experience of the First World War. Some are known already. Some are only now being discovered or have been too hard to tell.
Queensland's WWI Centenary blog uncovers stories from SLQ collections about the experiences of Queenslanders during the years 1914-1918.
The blog contains stories that help us to learn more about:
- the faces of WWI
- home front history
- women of war
- khaki concerts
- a doctor's perspective
- the young Red Cross
- home support
- soldier's poems and letters
- digitised significant historical items
