Wars have been very significant in the development of Australian English, generating new words and meanings, and also facilitating the borrowing of words from other other Englishes. They have also provided the opportunity for the ordinary voices of Australians to be heard - through diaries, troop publications, letters and newspapers. Rather than present a collection of military slang or jargon, this dictionary draws together the diverse words produced and used by ordinary Australians at war, with evidence of contemporary usage. The meaning and origins of each word are examined, and detailed quotations from contemporary source are provided.
