This book relays the largely untold story of the approximately
1,100 Australian war graves workers whose job it was to locate,
identify exhume and rebury the thousands of Australian soldiers who
died in Europe during the First World War. It tells the story of
the men of the Australian Graves Detachment and the Australian
Graves Service who worked in the period 1919 to 1922 to ensure that
grieving families in Australia had a physical grave which they
could mourn the loss of their loved ones. By presenting
biographical vignettes of eight men who undertook this work, the
book examines the mechanics of the commemoration of the Great War
and extends our understanding of the individual toll this onerous
task took on the workers themselves.
