 * Nice work promoting Canberra. For the benefit of non-Australian readers, I should note that kangaroos often turn up in the grounds of the AWM, as well as various parrots. And to be pedantic I'll note that Bean completed the official history in Sydney as the climate in Canberra didn't agree with his health. In regards to possible collaboration with the AWM, if they'd like us to take photos of their collection, then they need to first amend their photography policy as at present they claim copyright over some items on display (though most, if not all, of the WW1 items should be PD). Another area of collaboration would be to develop articles on some of the notable items in the AWM's collection; we've currently got articles for the Amiens Gun and G for George Lancaster bomber which aren't terribly good, and there's scope to write further articles on famous items (for instance, the dioramas of battles, the uniforms donated by Australian troops immediately after they left the front line, the Japanese mini-submarine, some of the art work on display, etc).

 * Let me know if you can think of some way I might make myself useful, I think collaborations with military GLAMs would be great for Milhist. - Dank (push to talk) 18:01, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
