Fallen ANZACs of the Northern Territory 1914-1918

A tribute to the 69 Territorians who lost their lives during the First World War. Extensively researched by Library staff, this fascinating new online collection of comprehensive information reveals intriguing details about these ANZACs; from their military service to their life in the Territory.

Along with this new online exhibition will be ‘The Somme: From Pozieres to Victory, 1916-1918’ on display 2 November - 4 December.

This exhibition has an extensive display of objects, memorabilia and life size models depicting trench warfare in the Battle of the Somme, one of the largest and most costly battles of the First World War. The failed Somme offensive led to the first unsuccessful referendum to introduce conscription in Australia.
