Historian Michael Enright provides a close-up account of Australian
servicemen on the Western Front during WWI. Using many previously
unpublished, first-hand materials, the author provides a fresh look
at the Great War through the eyes of ordinary servicemen. The scene
is set with a brief account of events at Gallipoli, the place where
the Australians gained their reputation as fierce fighters, and
then the author discusses the reformation of the ANZAC divisions in
Egypt and their subsequent movement to France. This leads to
previously unpublished personal accounts that give new
interpretations of the key battles on the Western Front at
Fromelles, Somme, Bullecourt, Messines, Passchendaele, and
Villers-Bretonneux, amongst others. Many of these accounts support
the particular bravery of the Australian soldier. This work
provides a reassessment of the ANZAC legend and mythology based on
the personal diaries and memoirs of those who were there.
