Note	Includes bibliographical references and index. Australia's extraordinary contribution to World War I extended well beyond its military forces to the expertise of its universities and professional men and women. Scientists and engineers oversaw the manufacture of munitions and the development of chemical weapons. Doctors sustained soldiers in the trenches, and treated the physically and psychologically damaged. Public servants, lawyers and translators were employed in the war bureaucracy, while artists and writers found new modes to convey the trauma o f war. The graduates and staff of Australia's six universities--Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Tasmania, Queensland and Western Australia and Queensland--were involved in this expansion of expertise. But what did these men and women do after the guns were s ilenced? How were the professions and universities transformed by the immediate and longer-term impacts of the war? The First World War, the Universities and the Professions examines how the technical and conceptual advances that occurred during World War I transformed Australian society.
