Tomorrow the Memorial opens the highly anticipated new First World War Galleries, Australia in the Great War. Australia in the Great War is one of the most significant First World War exhibitions in the world, drawing on the Memorial’s unique collection of First World War artefacts, technology, uniforms, medals, photographs, film, and personal items such as letters and diaries. Visitors will see collections that have never before been on display, including the newly discovered Bullecourt tank components and delicate personal belongings from Pheasant Wood, along with well-known favourites such as the iconic dioramas and the HMT Ascot landing boat. This exhibition is the Memorial’s major contribution to Australia’s Anzac centenary commemorations. It has been designed to inform and educate visitors for generations to come.
