As we commemorate 100 years since World War 1 began, there has been renewed interest in the Anzac soldiers who fought for our country on foreign soil all those years ago. Do you have any relatives who were Anzac soldiers? If so, do you want to know more about their experiences of war?
Why not come along to one of our hands-on sessions and learn how to use online tools and library resources to uncover more about your family’s military history? Sessions will include searching for service records and other military information on the National Archives of Australia and Australian War Memorial websites.
These stand-alone sessions will be held at the following branches of Ipswich Libraries. The content of each session will be the same. Participants should have some computer experience.
