⁸ For example Michael McKernan, Here is their Spirit: A history of the Australian War Memorial 1917–1990 (Brisbane and Canberra: University of Queensland Press and the Australian War Memorial, 1991); David A Kent, 'The Anzac book and the Anzac legend: C.E.W. Bean as editor and image-maker', Australian Historical Studies, 21, no. 84 (April 1985): 376–90. The latest study of Bean as war correspondent is Ross Coulthart, Charles Bean (E-book: HarperCollins, 2014) which is more a story of Bean as war correspondent than an analysis of his role in memory-making.
