"aussie's" heavy use of slang, which harris referred to as 'slanguage', that was both written and read by australian soldiers helped to create a sense of separate national character from that of the british or american soldiers. well used slang terms included "'cobber', 'dinkum', and 'furphy'" (laugesen, 16), with the first issue of "aussie" leaving room for an "aussie dictionary" of slang which was labelled as 'for the use of those at home'. harris knew the australian digger as a man who would put humour into everything. a man whose humour was "more spontaneous than that of the yank… the yank was funny, the aussie witty" (harris, 3) "aussie" was an extremely significant publication in australian history – one that created and nurtured national identity and pride for australian soldiers fighting in france during world war one, as well as going on to become a significant publication for returned servicemen and the general public following the war. many writers and artists began their careers with "aussie", and the magazine also played a role in furthering the readership of some of the literary greats of this country. it is a magazine to be noted as a significant part of australian history and nation building.
