Step back in time this summer with our early Service Newspapers, which capture the spirit of Australia's armed forces and the society they served.
Defence is funding the digitisation of these historic editions in Trove, giving every Australian the chance to explore the collection.
Army News Thursday 19 April 1984
Excerpt from a story called 'Reliving memories of Gallipoli'. Army (National: 1980 - 2024), 19 April, p. 2.
"Well done, Anzac. You are sticking it splendidly. 29 Division has made good progress; French Division is now landing to support it and an Indian Brigade is on the sea and will join Anzac on arrival."
That was the message sent from General Headquarters by General Ian Hamilton to the troops who had landed on Gallipoli at a place later to be known as Anzac Cove.
