True stories from the frontlines of World War I Published to mark
the centenary of the First World War and of the RSL in 2016, this
is a collection of 100 true stories of Aussie courage from those
who were in the action. The RSL, an Australian icon, has supported
Australian veterans since 1916, pledging that their sacrifices will
never be forgotten. Now from the annals of the RSL come these
compelling yarns and memories, written by diggers for diggers and
capturing the impact of war on those who took part. With eyewitness
accounts ranging from Gallipoli to the Middle East and Western
Front, Australia's Great War is brought to life with humour, pathos
and vivid detail. Discover a rare account of the capture of German
New Guinea, the first Australian action of the war, and experience
the Gallipoli campaign through the diggers' eyes. There's the story
of how a Light Horse patrol daringly slipped through advancing
Turkish troops to warn their mates of danger, a sapper's-eye view
of the battle of Fromelles, how the Melbourne Cup was run on the
Western Front - and so much more. Collected here for the first
time, these stories are a must-read record of World War I.
