During the First World War, 198 Australians became prisoners of the
Ottomans. Overshadowed by the grief and hardship that characterised
the post-war period, and by the enduring myth of the fighting
Anzac, these POWs have long been neglected in the national memory
of the war. Captive Anzacs explores how the prisoners felt about
their capture and how they dealt with the physical and
psychological strain of imprisonment, as well as the legacy of
their time as POWs. More broadly, it explores public perceptions of
the prisoners, the effects of their captivity on their families,
and how military, government and charitable organisations responded
to the POWs both during and after the War. Intertwining rich detail
from letters, diaries and other personal papers with official
records, Kate Ariotti offers a comprehensive, nuanced account of
this aspect of Australian war history.
