Diggers to Veterans: risk, resilience and recovery

战后挖掘者到底发生了什么？在加里波利百年之际，它仍然是未知的。不知道他们活了多长时间，也不知道他们在健康和家庭形成方面与平民相比如何。随着时间的推移，一些人是否从创伤和暴露中恢复过来？遣返计划和医疗服务是否有所不同？哪些社会和生物特征可能影响风险、复原力和恢复？关于战争暴露和创伤的终生影响，我们可以学到什么，以帮助今天的军人康复？该项目旨在成为世界上第一个对第一次世界大战中服兵役幸存者进行的从摇篮到坟墓的医学人口统计学研究，利用澳大利亚独特的服役和退伍军人医疗记录。

What really happened to the Diggers after the war? In this centenary year of Gallipoli, it is still not known. It is not known how long they lived nor how they compared in health and family formation to civilians. Did some recover from trauma and exposures over time? Did the Repatriation Scheme and medical care make a difference? What social and biological characteristics may have affected risk, resilience and recovery? And what can be learnt about the lifelong impact of war exposures and traumas, to assist in the recovery of today's servicemen? This project aims to be the world's first cradle-to-grave medico-demographic study of survivors of military service in World War I, drawing on Australia's unique archive of service and veteran medical records.
