Introduction
Do you have a family ancestor who served as a soldier or nurse in the First World War? Do you have an old family war diary or set of letters in the proverbial attic? Building upon the skills in the Foundation-level Family History units, Families and War introduces you to researching online military records, and to contextualising diverse experiences of war. The focus is on Australia and Britain during the First World War. Discover more about your family's military past.
