Was so nice to join David on @ThanksFYS podcast to talk about the roles of volunteers in Ceylon during the #SWW. Our discussion brings together some of the research behind my contribution to “In The Fight: Australians and the war in Burma”.

@KarlJames_1945 @destinationnsw Have had my head in that same book the last few months! Good one to have in your collection 📚

[Meghan Adams @Meghan1_Adams]

Such a pleasure to have researched and written this incredibly moving story during my time at the @AWMemorial. Stories like these show the contemporary impact of war and its aftermath, and remind us of enduring legacies of loss and remembrance.

A moving personal story about the research & significance of the @AWMemorial's Last Post Ceremony. This particular story of Private Hal Buttsworth, 2/19th Battalion, was written by @Meghan1_Adams.

An education in history @UOW was an utterly life-changing thing for me and for so many people like me. Those historians taught me to read the world more adroitly and encouraged me to dream bigger. For them, and for their students (current and future), this is devastating.
