Remembering the war in New Guinea - What are the icons in the footer?

What are the icons in the footer?

The icons are shortcuts to various parts of the Remember website. They are found on the bottom of each page.

These are sets of pages focusing on a particular aspect of the war from the perspective of all the participants. They comprise overview texts (200 words), longer text (1,000 words), images, and may also contain links to suggested further reading, original documents, and academic articles.

Period photographs, artworks, posters and images of objects have been chosen to accompany the pages throughout the site. This page provides easy access to all the images and their captions. Most images have been taken from the collection of the Australian War Memorial.

These sections focus on the land war, but also include an overview, longer text, and images outling the major campaigns in Papua and New Guinea during the war. They have been written to balance the perspectives of all the participants in the conflict.

Focusing on schools, but equally valuable to all users, these pages provide answers to all the basic questions concerning the war in Papua and New Guinea.

A series of biographies helps to portray the mixed experiencies of the different groups caught up in the conflict in the region. Often drawing on personal letters and diaries, these personal stories range from enlisted and conscripted soldiers through to commanders and famous figures.

These maps portray the topography of the area and progress of the campaigns in this rugged island country. Photographs of important sites are incorporated into the maps to provide a sense of the difficulty of the terrain.

Several academics have contributed articles which examine in more depth some of the key themes. These papers have been referreed and incorporated into the online Journal of the Australian War Memorial.

First hand accounts of the conflict have been incorporated into the site through the inclusion of interviews with Australian and Japanese veterans, and with local New Guineans influenced by the war. Translations, where possible, accompany the original language transcripts.

An international symposium was held at the Australian Naional University in Canberra in October 2000. These papers were presented to an audience of historians, researchers, veterans and interested members of the public over three days.

Reproduced images, and in some cases transcripts and translations of original historical documents are included to highlight certain aspects of the war.
