Australia in the Second World War
Memorial Box 4
This Memorial Box explores the Australian experience of the Second World War – a war that seemed to affect every aspect of life, with Australia itself coming under attack. Almost a million Australians served, at home and abroad, on land, at sea, or in the air. Their stories come to life as you unpack the real and replica Second World War items in this Box.
