Tasmanias War Record 1914-1918
Tasmanias War Record 1914-1918. L. Broinowski. 1921. The Preface to this comprehensive record of Tasmanians in the First World War states that it 'aims at giving to the people of this generation and of generations yet to come an idea of what Tasmanian soldiers did and endured and of the less glorious but very useful work done by thousands of men and women who remained at home ....'
