News of the Times Short #21 | 1920
The Story of: Australian Land for British Ex-Serviceman
Possibly forgotten in our day; there was quite a drive from Australia to encourage British labourers, women in service and ex Servicemen to emigrate to Australia with very favourable conditions on offer including large plots of land and loans on good terms.
Interesting this was not so long ago in terms of historical time spans. Contrast with some 100 years on and the question of immigration.

Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time. We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day. We also do sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint. The press releases of the launch of the unsinkable Titanic is one such example.
