		<description><![CDATA[ A donation came to my desk in the days following Anzac Day that caught my attention.  It was a maroon and white identification badge that featured the image of a young girl, her name, an I.D. number and the words, &#8216;C.S.I.R. Radiophysics Division&#8217;

		<description><![CDATA[In the Research Centre, we receive a lot of enquiries from people who want to know how and where their relatives died in the First World War.
