COLLECTIONS AUSTRALIA NETWORK Australian cultural heritage collections online

The Australian War Memorial  is canvassing the country for wartime love
stories for an exhibition to be held at the end of this year. The
material they collect on the Australian War Memorial: love and war
Flickr group will set a romantic background for the museum's collection
of objects, photographs and artworks.

The wonderful selection of photos in this slideshow already raise
questions about how people meet and how they keep a relationship going
in spite of separation? And what impact loneliness and conflict have on
a relationship long after the war has ended.
