The "Australia @ War" web site was started on 22 June 1996.

This is a part-time hobby for me.

I do not have a team supporting me. It's just me. Nor do I have any business support or sponsors.

My aim is to continue to keep the web site going and to make all of my information freely available online.

But I need your support

To ensure that the web site continues to grow, I need your assistance with information and photographs.

The costs for this part time hobby are continuing to rise. Some of my costs to keep this web site going include:-

• My ISP annual charges

• Web site hosting charges

• "ozatwar.com" Domain registration charges

• Cost of National and International telephone calls to talk to veterans and their families, and other researchers

• Cost of books and publications to aid my research for the web site

• Cost of upgrading computer equipment including portable hard drives to make sure I have an onsite and an offsite backup for all my data.

The best way you can help me with these costs is to purchase a copy of my "Australia @ War" Data DVD or buy one for your family and friends as a gift.

Or alternatively you can offer direct financial support to keep this expensive hobby of mine going.
