These stories and obituaries of Australian service personnel come from the pages of Australian newspapers available through Trove. They are gathered here as a result of text editing undertaken in Trove after a call by the South Australian library for digital volunteers.
While editing and reading these stories I decided they deserved a wider audience than those who may chance upon them in Trove. Hopefully some descendant may find a long lost relative listed within these pages and read of their experiences of war or read the obituary written after their death as a result of their service for country. All images used are from the article cited at the end of each entry.
