Operation Roundup was a combined naval, air and ground operation that took place off the west coast of Korea in 1952 during the Korean War.

Australia and Russia have shared a long history. The sloop Neva was the first Russian ship to visit the Australian mainland, visiting the New South Wales colony in 1807.

He was one of the last officers to be evacuated from Gallipoli, and he was killed on the Western Front, but amid the horror of the war, Frederick Septimus Kelly always found beauty in music.

It’s one of the first things visitors to the Australian War Memorial see: a bullet-riddled, steel lifeboat that carried troops of the 13th Battalion ashore during the Gallipoli landings.

In mid-February, the Australian War Memorial received an email from Joanne Tapiolas enquiring about a painting she had read about in a book about South Australia.

The Australian War Memorial has a rich collection of records and objects relating to the service of defence chaplains, affectionately known as  padres.

On 6 June 1944, Flight Lieutenant Douglas Sampson strapped into his Supermarine Spitfire Mk XI and flew from RAF Northolt in the west of London, crossing the English Channel before entering German-occupied France.

Since the formation of the Australian Defence Force in 1901 many thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have enlisted and served in all three defence services.

The Australian War Memorial holds an extensive collection of photographs of the Korean War taken by official Australian Army photographers.
