The Queensland Digger centenary
A century of telling veterans’ stories
For a century, Queensland RSL News has been the voice of veterans, sharing their stories, fostering camaraderie and advocating for their needs.
First published in 1925 as The Queensland Digger, the magazine has remained a vital record of service, sacrifice and support.
In 2025, we celebrate this milestone with special features throughout the year, honouring our history and looking ahead to the future of veteran support.
