SHELL-SHOCKED: Australia after Armistice

10 June to 22 July 2012

An exhibition based on personal stories of immense power. It depicts the grief of mothers whose sons died but had no known burial place – lost forever in foreign fields. Experience the individuality of local town memorials built by communities in an effort to come to terms with their loss and to honour those lives. Reflect on the impact of ‘the war to end all wars’ on Australia. A touring exhibition from the National Archives.
