The digger has an iconographic status in Australian society; thousands of families have charted the service records of relatives who served in the first AIF. This project will recover the returned soldier as important an historical entity as the men (and women) who went to war. It will look at ways our society tried to recover from the trauma of war, examine our veterans' return to Australia and their difficult readjustment to civil society. Soldier settlers faced a new battle in opening up the land. Like many in regional NSW today, they struggled against isolation, drought and financial hardship. This project will evaluate the role soldier settlement played in populating remote districts and assess its long-term environmental costs.

挖掘机在澳大利亚社会中具有形象地位;成千上万的家庭已经绘制了在第一届AIF中服役的亲属的服务记录。 这个项目将恢复返回的士兵作为重要的历史实体的男人（和女人）谁去战争。 它将审视我们的社会试图从战争创伤中恢复的方式，审视我们的退伍军人返回澳大利亚以及他们艰难地重新适应公民社会。 士兵定居者在开拓土地时面临着一场新的战斗。 像今天新南威尔士州的许多人一样，他们与孤立、干旱和经济困难作斗争。该项目将评估士兵定居点在偏远地区人口增加方面发挥的作用，并评估其长期环境成本。
