Naomi Parry and Brad Manera with Will Davies and Stephen Garton, New South Wales and the Great War,  Haberfield: Longueville Media, 2016. ISBN 978-0-9943863-7-3

When the Great War began in August 1914, the people of New South Wales took up the call to arms. NSW sent more people than any other state to serve overseas and many more worked and volunteered to support the war effort. But the economic, political and emotional strains of war, and the loss of so many young men, and some women, in the service of their country, fanned social and political divisions and wrought lasting changes to the society to which serving men and women would return.
