Former staff
- Dr Garth Pratten
Former Principal Research Officer - In 2005 Garth completed a PhD examining command within Australian infantry battalions during the Second World War, in partnership with the School of Australian and International Studies at Deakin University. His thesis was subsequently awarded the C.E.W. Bean Prize by the Australian Army, as the best postgraduate work in Australian military history submitted that year. Garth has also worked as a historian for the Australian Army’s Training Command, where he was involved in doctrine development and the production of a series of historical documentaries and monographs. He is a serving officer in the Australian Army, and has served in brigade headquarters, artillery units, an infantry battalion, and, most recently, in a security task unit raised specially for the XVIII Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Garth left the Official History in September 2007 to teach in the War Studies department at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, United Kingdom.

- Dr Rosalind Hearder
Former Researcher - Rosalind completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2004, researching the roles and responsibilities of Allied medical officers in Japanese captivity during the Second World War. She received the C.E.W. Bean Prize for her thesis. For the Official History project, her focus was on the medical and psychological effects of peacekeeping on military personnel, including two appendices on post-traumatic stress disorder and Gulf War syndrome. Rosalind has recently returned from a year-long Fulbright Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where she expanded on her PhD research and lectured on the history of military medicine, in the university’s Department of Medical History and Bioethics. She is currently working on a major oral history project, with the National Library of Australia, on sport in Australia.
