History in the Making Vol. 4, No. 1 was launched today. Our latest issue features six articles by undergraduate and postgraduate history students from across the country. Released on the centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign, this issue includes a special themed section on war and memorialisation. Jackie Lobban unpacks the complex depictions of the Anzac legend in children’s literature, while Emily Gallagher examines representations of wartime atrocities during the First World War. Closer to home, Patrick White explores discourses of post-war, home-front defence in relation to Townsville’s military base. Meanwhile, as part of a wider examination of Australian memorialisation trends since the mid-nineteenth century, Elizabeth Morgan reflects on the impact of war on cemetery structures in Albury, NSW.

The remaining two articles published in this issue of History in the Making reflect the dynamic and disparate fields of academic history studied by Australian tertiary students. Matthew Firth discusses the practice of convict flogging in early colonial Australia, while Melissa Laughton investigates the portrayal of history in film.

We hope you enjoy this edition of History in the Making.
