In this section we are delighted to have a number of collections of photographs, letters and other memorabilia that have been provided by family relatives and amateur historians of men that served with the 22nd Battalion in the First World War. In the majority of these cases there are photographs and items that are not available within the main historical repositories such as the Australian War Memorial or the Virtual War Memorial Australia websites, so an opportunity to perhaps find a photograph or article of a relative not seen before! If you have your own collection that you would like to share with the community please send a message via the Contact Us page.
