Abstract
From 2010-2020, Australia fielded the longest, most expensive, and arguably most complex Great War centenary of any combatant nation. It involved unprecedented investment from the state, but was also driven by popular initiatives. "Bottom up" commemoration involved actual people taking on the work of remembrance, shaping and reshaping its complex, and much contested character. The form that labour took, in locations as diverse as museums and battlefields, performative theatre and critical history, is the subject of this article.
