Abstract

Australia is about to spend more than any other country in commemorating the centenary of the First World War. This article examines the reasons behind the attachment of the Australian Government and part of the Australian people to commemorative celebrations. The author describes the background to this rediscovery of Australia’s engagement on the Western Front, a rediscovery encouraged by government policy since the end of the 1980s.
