Shell Shocked

Temporary Exhibition | Updated 2 decades ago

An exhibition from the National Archives of Australia.

After war comes the battle.

At 5am on November 11 1918, on a train outside of Paris, the armistice to end World War I was signed. It marked the end of a conflict that left 200,000 Australians dead, injured or maimed, and a generation in shell shock. Ninety years later, the National Archives is commemorating the Armistice and the impact of World War I on Australian society.
