In the years following the Second World War, the Australian War Memorial produced As You Were 1949, an annual anthology that stands as a vital document of Australian military experience and national memory. Published to honour the service and sacrifice of Australian men and women in uniform, this volume brings together stories, verse, and reminiscences drawn from the lived realities of wartime — from the jungles of the Pacific to the deserts of North Africa — presenting an intimate and often poignant portrait of a generation shaped by conflict. The As You Were series occupies a unique place in Australian literary and military history, functioning simultaneously as a commemorative record and a showcase for the creative voices of servicemen and women. Edited under the auspices of the Australian War Memorial, the anthology reflects the institution's enduring commitment to preserving not only the facts of war but its human texture — the humour, hardship, camaraderie, and quiet heroism that defined the Australian wartime spirit. For collectors, historians, and anyone drawn to the authentic voices of those who served, this volume remains an irreplaceable window into a defining chapter of the Australian story.
