| In the lead-up to Remembrance Day, the Australian Minister for Veterans' Affairs and his New Zealand counterpart will issue a joint announcement. To mark the centenary of 1914-18, the governments of both countries will digitise a sample of repatriation records - medical, pension and correspondence files dealing with the men and women who returned from war.
''Sample'' is an understatement. Initially, the digitisation program will centre on the first contingent of Anzac forces to sail from Albany in November 1914, a small (and some would say unrepresentative) cohort.
But Australia's repatriation files are one of the largest single holdings in the National Archives, stretching over 10 kilometres of shelving.

And it is a paltry part of a centenary budget that exceeds $140 million.
