24 Music score By Alberto Zelman- Soldiers of the willow (from QLD State Library) was converted to MIDI as part of Hack to the Future project at The Edge.

I then added a reading of a short poem and names of the 16th battalion from the 1915 War diary of Arthur Oxer (from the SA State library). River Petein
