DescriptionA magazine from WWI troopship HMAT OSTERLEY. It includes caricatures, photographs, poetry and articles related to crew and onboard activities.HistoryThe OSTERLEY was requistioned from the P & O SN Co at the start of the war as a troopship by the Australian Imperial Force (AIF).SignificanceThis magazine was produced with the input of troops on board the OSTERLEY on their way to England for training for WW1. It gives a unique and poignant insight into the personalities and feelings amongst those en route and certainly reflects both the humour and patriotism that defined the Australian solider at that time.
