Strange But True
A gas mask for a German Army messenger dog.
Overview
Students will discover the stories behind some of the more unusual and obscure items in our National Collection; why they are here, where they came from, and what they have to tell us about the experiences of Australians on the battlefield and at home during wartime. Students will develop empathy, and understanding of the challenges faced by Australian servicemen and servicewomen.
Suitable for primary and secondary students (from Year 4). This program is adapted to suit students at different age and aptitude levels.
