Australians have been making pilgrimages to the battlefields and
cemeteries of World War Two since the 1940s, from the jungles of
New Guinea and South-East Asia to the mountains of Greece and the
deserts of North Africa. They travel in search of the stories of
lost loved ones, to mourn the dead and to come to grips with the
past. With characteristic empathy, Bruce Scates charts the history
of pilgrimages to Crete, Kokoda, Sandakan and Hellfire Pass. He
explores the emotional resonance that these sites have for those
who served and those who remember. Based on surveys, interviews,
extensive fieldwork and archival research, Anzac Journeys offers
insights into the culture of loss and commemoration and the hunger
for meaning so pivotal to the experience of pilgrimage. Richly
illustrated with full-colour maps and photographs from the 1940s to
today, Anzac Journeys makes an important and moving contribution to
Australian military history.
