New website: WW1 stories from Sydney Living Museums

The stories on this website provide a panoramic view of how World War I was experienced by people associated with the historic houses and places managed by Sydney Living Museums. 
The stories are often poignant and sometimes heartbreaking. Most are of individuals: combatants, pacifists, patriotic fundraisers and anti-war activists. Other, larger, stories speak to broader national narratives relating to ideas of patriotism and expressions of jingoism. Still others touch on the aftermath of war and the memorialisation of those who had enlisted for active service, including those who made the supreme sacrifice.
