Mapping our Anzacs is a new resource from the National Archives of Australia on Australia’s involvement in World War I. It uses a map interface created from Google maps and the Google geocoding service to explore Australia’s involvement in this conflict. Visitors to the site can browse the 375,971 service records of soldiers, nurses, and chaplains in the Australian Army according to the person’s place of birth or enlistment.
In addition to locating records of service, visitors may share information on the the site’s scrapbook, offering information about a particular person, or they may build a tribute to a group of service personnel.
To explore the site, and to find out more about how it works, go to http://mappingouranzacs.naa.gov.au/
