Do you have a family ancestor who served as a soldier, sailor, nurse or some other position in the defence forces in the First World War? Do you have an old family war diary or set of letters in the proverbial attic? Building upon the skills in the Foundation level Family History units, Families at War introduces you to researching online military records, and most importantly to contextualising diverse experiences of war, from those who went to the front to those who stayed behind. The focus is on Australia and Britain during the First World War. Discover more about your family's military past.
Families at War is a 100-level university subject that will help you to research the experiences of an ancestor or other individual who took part in the First World War. The skills and knowledge gained will, however, help you in any further research you may wish to pursue on individuals involved in other conflicts and countries.
