Video of WW1 veterans graves.
On Sunday the 13th of October 2024, Peter Barnes visited the West Terrace Cemetery (AIF Section), in Adelaide, South Australia, and took videos of the WW1 veterans graves.
The AIF Section of the Cemetery contains the graves of more than 4,000 WW1 veterans, including four Victoria Cross recipients from WW1.
The graves show that many died not long after the war finished, or had greatly shortened lives.
By the end of WW1, 34,959 South Australians had enlisted. 5,565 died in the war, which was 9.2 percent of the total number of Australians who died in WW1. The wounded would have been much more. I would estimate that the killed and wounded would have been around 50% of all those South Australians who enlisted in WW1.
The population of South Australia three years before WW1 started was 408,558, in April, 1911. The next census waa taken on April 4, 1921.
