Australia's World War 2 Nominal Roll: Accurate Record or True Record?: the Online Database is Evaluated for Accuracy and Effects

Bill Park's new book investigates the accuracy and usefulness of Australia¿s principal online memorial to its mid-20th Century soldiers, the World War 2 Nominal Roll (http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/). He makes some very interesting discoveries and pertinent recommendations in this 65th anniversary year of the end of World War II. His book is useful for students of journalism, media, history, records management and internet studies. It is dedicated to those tens of thousands of Australian soldiers of World War II whose service to their country has not been accurately recorded on the World War 2 Nominal Roll. It also serves to remind us of our promise that ¿We shall remember them¿: Lest we forget.
