Forwarded from Christine Howes: INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS AT WAR http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/statuepark/620/index.html This site will primarily be about my research into Australian Aboriginal servicemen in the defence of Australia. I am not very familiar with website design so please bear with me as I gradually expand this page. I created this website to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and non-Indigenous Australians a free online resource on an aspect of our history that is not very well known. Basically a site for Koories by Koories. My research involves much time spent searching through microfiche, paper and online files. These being at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) Library, the Australian War Memorial (AWM) and the Australian Institute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) among many! I have given a lecture on behalf of the National Aboriginal History and Heritage Council at the State Library of New South Wales, on the topic of Aboriginal 'diggers' of World War One. This lecture really spurred me onto following up the work which I completed for this lecture. They are supporting me in my research, of which I am extremely thankful. If you have any Aboriginal ancestors or family that you believe served in the Australian Army, Nursing Corps, Flying Corps or Navy I'd be pleased to help you research your own family history and document his or her service.
