Intended as a diversion from the Somme, Fromelles was was the
worst-ever military disaster in Australian history, and is
recognised as one of the bloodiest and most useless battles of the
First World War. With the recent discovery of a mass grave and the
disinterment of many diggers, it has now entered national
consciousness in the same way as Gallipoli. In one night, British
and Australian soldiers suffered casualties equivalent to the total
toll of the Boer War, Korean War and Vietnam War combined. Barton's
research has revealed that the Australian frontline troops gave
away critical Allied secrets to the Germans... which not only led
directly to the Fromelles slaughter - but also contributed to the
failure of the Somme offensive as a whole. The Lost Legions of
Fromelles is the most authoritative book on this staggering
disaster, combining new scholarship on the battle with an account
of recent events to dispel many myths in a rich and compelling
history.
