To pay tribute to the men and women of world conflicts demands both respect for their achievements and a high standard of re-creation and behaviour.

West-Front provides a window for us to see how young men and women of Australia, Europe, USA and the British Empire, lived, fought and survived between 1939 – 1945.

Since 1989 West-Front has progressed to offering a diverse range of services to assist students, schools, veterans' commemorations and civic functions.

West-Front Mission Statement

To promote and encourage the values bestowed by our military history; to provide an opportunity to explore and promote the shared achievements of service men and women of all nations; inspire learning through innovation; display uncompromising attention to detail; and to encourage and assist people to protect, conserve and value our military heritage.

History On the Move

Formed in 1989, the Westfront Europe Association was a living history organisation that sought to actively portray Allied and Axis soldiers from World War II through displays and re-enactment. The high standards set then, are the benchmarks now carried on by West-Front.

West-Front insists on authenticity in every facet of our displays. Accuracy in every detail is recreated, even as far as period mannerisms and military bearing. Where possible, original equipment and uniforms are obtained and hours spent in research to accurately portray the Australian “ Digger”, the English “ Tommy”, the American “G.I.” or the German “ Landser”.

Origins of West-Front The significant European battles of WW1 and WW2 occurred on the Western Front and heralded an important period of global change in 20th century history.

German film maker, GW Pabst, captured the endurance, commitment and honour displayed by service personnel during this period in his often overlooked film “WestFront 1918”. This important film, released in 1930, (the same year as Lewis Milestone’s more well known “All Quiet on the Western Front”), records the personal tribulations of the German Landser at the Front, and on his return to war-time Germany.

Our Aims and Objectives

To provide an enduring commitment to honour service men and women of all nations parallels the values of this period. So it was with deep respect and admiration of these soldiers that West-Front was born:
