Funded Activity Summary

Beyond Gallipoli: An Australian History of Pilgrimage, Commemoration and the Great War. The Great War has cast a shadow across four generations of Australians: from 1915 to today, young and old have made pilgrimages overseas, seeking to discover the 'lost' graves of their countrymen. This project will determine who made such journeys and why. It will be both an historical study, charting ways in which the ritual of pilgrimage has changed, and an investigation into the motives and experience of today's travellers. Oral history, archival research and personal survey will offer new insight into the emotional world of loss and mourning and explore the intersection between popular memory, history and national identity.
