Hi Sydneysiders,
Some history books are dull, hard to follow the author's theme, and simply not interesting. BUT, Naomi Parry and Brad Manera with Will Davies and Stephen Garton, have put together an absolutely fantastic, relevant, responsible and infinitely interesting history about ordinary NSW families and WWI. Naomi Parry is presenting a FREE lecture about the writing of their book.
RAHS Day Lecture Writing New South Wales and the Great War
