War Historians
In 2011 we recognise Australian war correspondents that, over the years, shaped our perception of conflict via unbiased and independent documenting and recording in perilous conditions. Well known
correspondents include Banjo Patterson during the Boer War and Australia’s most noted war correspondents, C.E.W. Bean, chronicler of Gallipoli and founder of the Australian War Memorial and Damien
Parer, who captured memorable images from the Kokoda track. They, and the many since, have exemplified bravery and integrity to report on each Australian campaign and ensure ‘Australia Remembers’.
The reverse design of this 20c coin is based on an image from
the Australian War Memorial depicting an Australian official
photographer, standing with tripod and camera on a British
Mark V tank, recording the advance of Australian troops through
the Hindenburg line during World War I.
