For King and Empire - Port Pirie and The Great War celebrates some of Port Pirie’s individuals in the Great War, whether they be glowing tales of gallantry, more mundane experiences of wartime such as sickness and injury, or illustrations of life on the home front. 

These snapshots are presented in the context of Port Pirie’s own local history, giving rise to a rich tapestry of personal narratives, social history and political events of the time.
