Tumblr: What did you do in the Great War?



My brother has been live blogging Australia's experience of the first World War on a human scale for the last couple of years as 1stAIF, his Tumblr What Did You Do in the Great War? is a combination of bits and pieces like articles, cartoons and advertising notices gathered from Trove's digitised newspapers, diaries, bits of ephemera, diary entries, and so on. Each day he posts something from exactly 100 years ago.
