The State Library of NSW set out to collect them in 1919, and they're now being preserved on Wikipedia. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/16/great-war-memories/ thanks, Joe -- *Joe Sutherland* Communications Intern [remote] m: +44 (0) 7722 916 433 | t: @jrbsu <http://twitter.com/jrbsu> | w: JSutherland <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:JSutherland_(WMF)>
