A Piece of Australia in France’: Australian Authorities and the Commemoration of Anzac Day at Villers-Bretonneux in the Last Decade

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This book chapter looks at Australian First World War commemorations in northern France through the lens of French locals and French sources, transnationalising Australian commemorative practices. It fills a void in our understanding of Australian extraterritorial commemorations and how they re-shape local communities and contribute to villages’ life in rural France while seeking to develop a sense of pride and national identity in Australia.
