Australian War Graves Workers and World War OneDevoted Labour for the Lost, the Unknown but not Forgotten Dead /[electronic resource] :by Fred Cahir, Sara Weuffen, Matt Smith, Peter Bakker, Jo Caminiti. - 1st ed. 2019. - XXI, 143 p. 36 illus., 5 illus. in color.online resource.

“Their Last Resting Place”: Foundations of Graves Work -- The Australian War Graves Effort (1919-1922) -- “A Man of Silent Substance”: Major John Eldred Mott MC -- “He took pleasure in doing his duty”: Staff-Sgt. Frank Cahir DSM, MM -- “Dark in Complexion”: The Indigenous War Graves Workers -- “A Credible Officer befallen by Circumstance?” Captain Allen Charles Waters Kingston -- William Frampton McBeath (FC) -- Their Legacy.

This book relays the largely untold story of the approximately 1,100 Australian war graves workers whose job it was to locate, identify exhume and rebury the thousands of Australian soldiers who died in Europe during the First World War. It tells the story of the men of the Australian Graves Detachment and the Australian Graves Service who worked in the period 1919 to 1922 to ensure that grieving families in Australia had a physical grave which they could mourn the loss of their loved ones. By presenting biographical vignettes of eight men who undertook this work, the book examines the mechanics of the commemoration of the Great War and extends our understanding of the individual toll this onerous task took on the workers themselves.
