Terendak Military Cemetery: Bodies, Burials, and ‘Operation Bring Them Home
Terendak Military Cemetery occupies an unusual position in the history of Australian war cemeteries. Initially established to service the needs of the community at Terendak Garrison—the operational base for Commonwealth forces in Malaya during the early years of the Cold War—it became the official overseas burial site of Australian dead during the Vietnam War. Changes to long‐standing policy in the mid‐1960s saw the introduction of government‐fun…
“Laid to Rest in Australian Soil”: The Legacies of Repatriation Policy Change during the Vietnam War
For the first half of the twentieth century, Australia maintained a firm policy of non‐repatriation. Military personnel who died overseas were buried in vast military cemeteries administered by the Imperial (later Commonwealth) War Graves Commission. In 1966, however, the Australian government decreed that Australia's war dead could be repatriated, at public expense, for hometown burial or cremation. Focussing on the 18 soldiers who died in (and …

Mourning the Dead of the Great Escape: POWs, Grief, and the Memorial Vault of Stalag Luft III
In March 1944 seventy-six Allied prisoners of war escaped from Stalag Luft III. Nearly all were recaptured; fifty were later shot. This article examines what happened in the period between recapture and the interment of the dead prisoners' cremated remains at Stalag Luft III. It positions what came to be known as ‘the Great Escape’ as an event of deep emotional resonance for those who grieved and reveals the dual narrative they constructed to mak…
Between Death and Commemoration: The Treatment of Australian POW Dead on the Thai–Burma Railway, 1942–45
Over 2,700 Australian prisoners of the Japanese died on the Thai–Burma Railway during World War II. This article examines how Australians on the Railway treated their dead and canvasses the work of the War Graves survey party charged with searching for POW remains in the immediate aftermath of the war. It reveals the emotional and logistical labour that underpinned the efforts of the POWs and, later, War Graves personnel, to mourn and honour the …

Australian POWs of the First World War: Responding to the challenges of captivity and return
Just over 4000 Australian servicemen were taken prisoner by Ottoman and German forces during the First World War. Their distinctive stories are rarely considered in Australian histories and memories of the war: captivity affected only a minority of Australian servicemen and, for a long time, surrender or capture was seen as a failure of the contemporary prescription for Australian martial masculinity. This article explores some of the challenges …

I’m awfully fed up with being a prisoner” * Australian POWs of the Turks and the Strain of Surrender
Nearly 200 Australians were captured and held as prisoners of war (POWs) by Ottoman Turkish forces during the First World War. They have largely been overlooked in Australian history and memory of the conflict with the result that little is known of their time in captivity or of its wider ramifications. In examining the emotional impact of their capture and imprisonment, this article offers intimate insights into how these Australian POWs felt ab…
The Role of Sport for Australian POWs of the Turks during the First World War
Nearly 200 Australians were taken prisoner by the Turks during World War I, some 76 of them during the Gallipoli campaign and the remainder over the succeeding three years during the ongoing campaigns against the Ottoman Empire. Approximately a quarter of them died in captivity. In contrast to the experiences of Australians taken prisoner by the Japanese during the Pacific War, Australian history and collective memory, and Australian commemorativ…
