Public Service-War Service video

State Records NSW has recently launched a new video that documents and explores Public Service-War Service, an exhibition which has been on display at the Western Sydney Records Centre for the past year. As part of the NSW Government’s Centenary of Anzac Program, which also commemorates the one hundred year anniversary of the First World War, the video and exhibition explore the experiences of NSW government employees who served Australia in its campaign both here and overseas.  You can watch the Public Service-War Service online at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhGzJlF0SjM
