Microscopic in regards to the large scale of the war and those that were affected by WW1, not only those who were the soldiers but also those families affected back at home.

I'm not too sure how I felt. Throughout the excursion I was reflecting on what Australia was, and how it is now. Now I feel quite uneasy about the war, and that's how I felt during the excursion, but during the early 20th century, and if I had lived then, I wondered whether I'd be excited or whether I still had that feeling of uneasiness.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that I had no relation to those who had served and fought in the war. Going to the memorial was somewhat of a self-realisation of how minuscule I am in comparison to the people who fought in this war.

# data[].attributes.body
Sad about the sacrifices made by many soldiers but also proud of the soldiers

# data[].attributes.body
I found the story about the Australians throwing bullied beef into the Turkish trenches for grenade practice and the Turkish sending back a thank you letter with tobacco and a request for more souvenirs fascinating.

# data[].attributes.body
It made me feel uneasy and uncomfortable especially inside that dome containing the unnamedsoldier.

# data[].attributes.body
The War Memorial made me feel uneasy and stiff due to the strict atmosphere and talk about the deceased. Everything felt serious from the many stories to the hall of silence.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt apart of a nation

# data[].attributes.body
It made me feel proud to be an Australian citizen and humble towards all the soldiers that protected our country during times of war. However, I felt as if some countries were slightly antagonized. I also felt sorry for the families whose members that fought in the war did not have graves (unknown soldiers).

# data[].attributes.body
I felt the honour of standing where my nation, where I live stood up for such a cause to make Australia an honourable nation. I felt pride in my country

# data[].attributes.body
Rather small and insignificant in comparison to not only the structure itself but the events and people it represents

# data[].attributes.body
The building itself and the names on the walls made me feel humble and grateful.

# data[].attributes.body
Australian people weren't forced to go to war unlike many other countries

# data[].attributes.body
That conscription was a major issue when it came to who took part in the war, and that Australia's referendum actually came up as negative both times, so men were not forced to enter the war. There was also a lot of talk on the white feathers and how that related to how many people fought in the war.

# data[].attributes.body
That Australia was indeed one of the few countries which did not enforce conscription, unlike many major European countries. Instead, there were two referendums regarding the matter of conscription but both were declined by the Australian public and the Australian soldiers fighting in the war.

# data[].attributes.body
Australians demonstrate a lot of nationalism and pride in themsleves, not just back then, but now as well. Back then, they entered the war on their own accord wanting to prove their worth to England. Now it is on a much smaller scale but is still present, like how majority of the music on some radio stations and at sporting events (for example) are of Australian origin.

# data[].attributes.body
Australians aren't forced to go to war and they felt excited about it

# data[].attributes.body
I felt uneasy and nervous but also a great sense of pride and thankfulness for the people that sacrificed themselves for our country.

# data[].attributes.body
The role Australia played in the war. such as why they exactly went to the war.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that the conscription was strongly voted against despite the strong feeling of nationalism Australians had towards their country.

# data[].attributes.body
Although there wasn't conscription in Australia for the men because it was voted no twice, many men were pressured into going to fight for their country.

# data[].attributes.body
If you were married you couldn't go to war

# data[].attributes.body
Australian soldiers were all volunteers and the recruitment quota was met within 3 days. Conscription was voted for two times but was voted against.

# data[].attributes.body
The turkeys sent a letter of gratitude to the Australian trenches in order to show their appreciation for the pulley beef. The Aussies were trying to gauge how far the Turk's trenches were in order to decide the force and velocity of which the bombs were to thrown. In order to do this they would use pulley beef cans, which they despised, so that if the Turks threw them back they knew which ones made it. However, the Turks, who were unaware of this plan, sent a letter back attached to the pulley beef. It was interesting to discover that no one knew whether there was malicious intent behind this letter or just pure gratitude.

# data[].attributes.body
sort of disbelieving that these people would go to fight in such a faraway somewhere that at any moment they could be killed in an instant

# data[].attributes.body
Australia had a nationalistic attitude going into the war. as this was a way to prove themselves as a country.

# data[].attributes.body
Who created the weapons were created and easily widespread throughout all the nations.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt about the miniature models of the battlefields and how they were made so that the public could experience what it was like in a war

# data[].attributes.body
Sad but also proud of the sacrifices made by the people in war

# data[].attributes.body
I felt very small and felt ashamed that I wouldn't have the bravery to do what the soldiers did.

# data[].attributes.body
How it was like in the trenches, more about specific battles such as the somme and the initial incentive for Australia to be involved

# data[].attributes.body
The symbolism and purpose behind each nation's uniform (eg. Why Germans had spikes on their heads)

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting seeing the different anti and pro conscription posters, and how they both campaigned on basically the same points just twisted different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to attain more information in regards to the living within the trenches and how warfare strategies were differentiating between varying countries. Eg, did each country use different strategies for this trench warfare.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt a bit about women's roles in the war

# data[].attributes.body
That the Memorial only contained 4-5% of all artifacts in Australia, and being the Australian War Memorial, they were open to nearly all 100% of available artifacts. Everything on display had been chosen for a reason.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to learn more about how Australia contributed to the war in other ways apart from Gallipoli

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to not only learn about the Australians that went into the war, but also how Australia and New Zealand came together to form ANZAC and the significance of this.

# data[].attributes.body
A more detailed study into what role Australia played in the war, with dates and places. I also want to learn about the roles of other less significant countries in the war.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning a bit about the artist that designed the tomb of the unknown soldier; and learning about Australia's failed push for conscription and the reasons why soldiers, nurses and civilians voted yes or no.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that women who were not married weren't allowed to be a nurse overseas because they had to take care of family.

# data[].attributes.body
It was an educational experience and it was interesting to see how humans thought and acted in times of war. I felt respect towards the fallen, but also kinda detached since I don't identify as an Australian.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that the diet of the Australian soldiers consisted of Bully Beef and Hard Tac

# data[].attributes.body
During the time period, Australians were proud to fight and die for their country and to help win the war. The country was proud of the people who left to serve in the army but didn't want to conscript lots of soldiers.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that when Australians were practising throwing grenades into the oppositions trench they would throw bully beef/ canned meat. The Turks thought this was kind gesture and actually thanked Australia through a letter

# data[].attributes.body
I felt for the people whose family members had fought in the war and were acknowledged at the memorial. Regarding the memorial itself, I was quite fascinated by the stories of the famous people that were displayed there.

# data[].attributes.body
That the general Australian public was still enthusiastic in regards to war, which they believed would only take a few weeks at max. However, after seeing the large scale damage and death in regards to the war they actually denied two attempts to force conscription within Australia.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learnt about Australia's entrance into the war was as a result of Australia desperately wanting to prove themselves as a Nation in the eyes of Britain by paying the price of blood in a war.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to learn more about the condition of Australia itself (i.e. economic, social etc. situation) during WW1 rather than just the battles it fought in.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to learn more about Australia's participation and impact on the war. I assumed that it would be viewed as largely insignificant due to the Great Powers having more dominance over their territory that the soldiers were fighting on (since it's their land), while Australia fighting on foreign land proves a disadvantage to the latter. This indicates that perhaps Australia played little role in the war's outcome but after visiting the war memorial, I realised that we might have had a greater influence then I previously believed.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that Australians felt pride if they were to do something like participate in the war for their country. Overall, I think that Australia has strong pride.

# data[].attributes.body
It was not only desirable for young men to go to war but specifically undesirable for them not to.

# data[].attributes.body
The impact of the war on the families left behind in Australia

# data[].attributes.body
Where Australia fought and how they were treated and viewed by both their allies and their enemies

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know more about the culture toward war over time. The white feather was mentioned, a symbol of cowardliness. I would like to know, for instance, how that came to be a symbol for cowardliness, and whether that was exclusive to a war setting. More generally, I would like to know more about the culture of war in Australia and elsewhere, and whether there was a movement of resistance toward going to the Great War

# data[].attributes.body
The australian was proud that they can fight and die for they nation

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to know about the strategies used in WWI battles. I would also like to know in more detail how the Ottoman Empire joined WWI.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to learn more about the different fronts and places that the war was fought in.

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to to learn about how much of an impact Australia actually had on the war.

# data[].attributes.body
Australia was very determined and brave in times of war. It was eager for an opportunity to display such qualities and prove itself worthy to the British Empire and the rest of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to learn more about Chinese and Japanese roles in WW1. Economically, how did they change the war and how did British and European colonies fair during this time.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that Australians were nationalistic and were not forced into joining the war, but wanting to. Within the two days that Australians were given the chance to sign up, 20,000 people signed up almost instantly, demonstrating this nationalism.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt uneasy to be in an area with all the names of those that had passed away and felt towards their families and friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that Australians were had a nationalistic attitude and were proud to fight for their country and looked to prove themselves as country.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that Australians were humorous and relaxed during the face of war with even some being 'excited'.

# data[].attributes.body
The Australian were trying to prove themselves to the British and were very enthusiastic about defending their country.

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that many people weren't able to go back to their normal lives after the war.

# data[].attributes.body
The Australians felt a very strong affinity to the British and believed that if anyone should fight in the war alongside the British, it should be them. They identified themselves as worthy, brave and needed to prove it to the world.

# data[].attributes.body
That Australia as an entity has great respect toward its soldiers, and, more importantly, how it pays that respect. I also learnt more specifically about what the British thought about Australian Soldiers, and on John Monash.

# data[].attributes.body
Australia is seen as more horrible than it was before but it is still glorified. Australia is still a very nationalistic country.

# data[].attributes.body
It gave me the sense that even though we accept war was horrible we still glorify it. Also, it was a cool buidling.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to learn more about the strategies that were used to carry out attacks and for fighting on the different fronts.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel strong pride for my country.

# data[].attributes.body
The tactics used by Monash at the battle of Hamel

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the tactics used, particularly at Gallipoli

# data[].attributes.body
I learnt that even during the hard times, there was an unbreakable bond between those in the army. They identified as soldiers, which was most likely due to the fact that they were not conscripted, so that they wanted to be there. This quote also helped me really understand the bond between the soldiers - "Don't care for yourself, care for the man next to you". Which clearly shows that they identified as one unit.
