Over The Front

over the front – the Great War in the Air is an exhibition now open at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

The exhibition reflects the part Australians played in the air battles over the battlefields of the Western Front.

The exhibition is described by the AWM as bringing history to life with a range of extraordinary and original aircraft and an exciting visual depiction of military flight.

The Families and Friends of the First AIF thanks the Australian, UK and French governments for affording Australian and British soldiers – presently buried in mass graves at Pheasant Wood – dignified individual reburials in a new CWGC cemetery at Fromelles, and applauds Minister Snowdon and his British counterpart, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence and Minister for Veterans, Kevan Jones MP, for their joint decision to DNA test the remains at exhumation and use every reasonable method to attempt identification of each soldier.
