Century of service
Summary A resourceful person finds unique and clever ways to overcome challenges - a quality that is much needed during times of conflict. Over the last century, Australians have demonstrated resourcefulness during wartime in many ways, from surviving in harsh environments without specialist equipment, to deceiving the enemy with ingenious plans or inventing new and effective weapons. This book explores examples of Australian wartime innovation, some of which occurred in Australia - in laboratories, offices and homes - and some on the battlefields where Australians have fought
