Every year tens of thousands of Australians make their pilgrimages
to Gallipoli, France and other killing fields of the Great War. It
is a journey steeped in history. Some go in search of family
memory, seeking the grave of a soldier lost a lifetime ago. For
others, Anzac pilgrimage has become a rite of passage, a statement
of what it means to be Australian. This book, first published in
2006, explores the memory of the Great War through the historical
experience of pilgrimage. It examines the significance these
'sacred sites' have acquired in the hearts and minds of successive
generations and charts the complex responses of young and old,
soldier and civilian, the pilgrims of the 1920s and today's
backpacker travellers. This book gives voice to history, retrieving
a bitter-sweet testimony through interviews, surveys and a rich
archival record. Innovative, courageous and often deeply moving, it
explains why the Anzac legend still captivates Australians.
