Reliance on photographs can lead to confusion and misidentification as differences are often in the detail. In colour, the blue of the artillery tunic is quite distinct from the red of the engineers but this is not always readily evident in black and white period photographs.
The Rottnest Island was closed to the public for extended periods during the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2020. The success of “Virtual Visi” series at the Australian Army Museum of Western australia prompted the creation of a parallel series of “Virtual Discoveries” focussing on the military and heritage aspects of Rottnest Island.
