Centenary of the Great War

The Australian War Memorial is prepping exhibits now to commence a series of activities to commemorate the centenary of the Great War.   No doubt many other similar institutions are doing likewise.  While the 100 years of Gallipolli events in 2015 will no doubt be a major highlight, they are by no means the only focus.  I particularly like this photo from the AWM website.  Just try smuggling a kangaroo overseas these days!
