  The expectations of these relatives on the wharf, "they had best hurry, they say that the war may be over by Christmas." So many young men never came home at all, such a lost generation.

  Wayne Hill Indeed. This is why we share photos like this from our collection, so their stories are not forgotten.

  The Australian libraries are, I believe the most generous "Government institutions" World wide. I regularly peruse our libraries collections, and it NEVER ceases to amaze me. Thanks State Library of Queensland. A truly marvelous group of people behind the scenes 👥 🔝
