Description
In the First World War, Australian reactions to death were defined by distance, a circumstance that impelled mourners towards communal responses to their loss. It drove them to create and sustain links with the graves that most knew they would never see. A widespread recognition of this condition resulted in an Australian community keenly aware of the shared nature of their grief.
