Aboriginal Australians and the Home Front

Aboriginal Australians and the Home Front. Furphy, S. In Ariotti, K. & Bennett, J. E., editors, Australians and the First World War, pages 143--164. Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, 2017. DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-51520-5_9

Paper abstract bibtex

During the First World War more than 1,000 Aboriginal men served in the Australian Imperial Force, despite military regulations which prohibited volunteers who were “not substantially of European origin or descent.” The valuable contribution of these Aboriginal soldiers has increasingly been recognised by historians, and in public commemoration of the war, but less attention has been paid to the “home front” experiences of the vast majority of Aboriginal people who remained in Australia. This chapter provides a general overview of Aboriginal Australians and the Home Front, focusing on the themes of wartime employment, government Aboriginal policy, imperial loyalty, repatriation, and soldier settlement.
