When the Boarding Party from HMAS Sydney reached the beached Emden, to recover the dead and wounded, they also recovered the Captain's safe, containing the ships imprest of funds for procuring fuel rations and so on . 6,429 Mexican Silver 8 Reales were found. One thousand of those coins were given to William Kerr jewellers, with the company commissioned to produce the Sydney-Emden Medal. Adorning each Mexican silver dollar with the King’s Crown in unison with superb scrolls, the jewellers created one of the most memorable decorations in military history.

One of the most iconic photographs of Australia's war, taken by photographer George Silk. Private "Dick" Whittington, wounded in the 2nd/10th Battalion along 'The Old Strip' at Buna on Christmas Eve, is led to medical aid by a Papuan orderly Raphael Oimbari, on Christmas Day 1942 near Buna. He survived his wounds but "Dick" Whittington died in February 1943 from scrub typhus; disease accounted for more casualties even than the high toll of combat.

Nieppe, France. 18 April 1918. A Company Headquarters of the 7th Battalion, established in an old shooting box in the Forest of Neippe, in Northern France. A week earlier on the arrival of the 1st Division at Hazebrouck from the Somme, the Germans were already commencing to penetrate the Forest of Nieppe immediately east of the town. The 7th Battalion, with some of the 1st Pioneer Battalion and a company of machine gunners, pushed through Nieppe Forest, north of La Motte Chateau, and dug in on the north-eastern edge, in touch with the British rearguards. The Australian line, when completed, ran down from Strazeele to the Wood, where it linked up with the British Guards and the 29th Division. The Germans attacked in force on the 14th, but were repulsed; they renewed the attack in the evening, but failed. They never attacked again on these positions.
