Diggerspeak: The Language of Australians at war
A collection of words used by Australians at war - a dictionary complete with information about meaning, origins and usage. Rather than a collection of military slang, it focuses on words used by ordinary Australians during wartime and demonstrates how wars have contributed to the development of Australian English.
