One Hundred Stories

One Hundred Stories

The One Hundred Stories are a silent presentation. They remember not just the men and women who lost their lives, but also those who returned to Australia, the gassed, the crippled, the insane, all those irreparably damaged by war. The Great War shaped the world as well as the nation. Its memory belongs to us all.

The One Hundred Stories were originally developed at Monash University but have been updated and extended at the Australian National University (ANU). The ANU uses material originally featured on the Monash Website with permission. We gratefully acknowledge the cooperation and support of Monash University and all the archives, libraries, cultural institutions and individuals who assisted this project. The annual ANU Anzac Day broadcast began in 2020 as the onset of Covid suspended Anzac Day commemorations across the country. A service to the community by Australia's national university, it was intended to bring communities together at at time the pandemic tore us apart. The broadcasts continue to showcase innovative scholarship into the catastrophe of 1914-18 and pose challenging questions about the nature of Anzac remembrance.
