Two accounts of the Australian Army at war
During the Great War all of Britain's colonies and dominions
rallied to the appeal of the motherland to fight the common enemy.
None responded more positively than Australia. Leonaur has gathered
together two accounts into this single volume for students and
enthusiasts of the period to enjoy. The Australian experience of
war is finely captured in them both. The first, written by a scout,
takes the reader through recruitment, training, embarkation and a
period in Egypt before gruelling combat on the Gallipoli peninsula
and the bloody trenches of the Western Front. The second account is
filled with vignettes of the Australian experience of war in
Europe. This is another 'two for the price of one' volume by
Leonaur available in softcover or hardback with dust jacket for
collectors.
This early work by G. P. Cuttriss was originally published in the
early 20th century and we are now republishing it as part of our
WWI Centenary Series. Some day cold and formal histories will
record the deeds and performances of the Australian soldiery; but
it is not to them that we shall turn for an illumination of his
true character. It is to stories such as these which follow, of his
daily life, of his psychology, of his personality, that we must
look. And we shall look not in vain, when, as in the following
pages, the tale has been written down by one of themselves, who has
lived and worked among them, and who understands them in a spirit
of true sympathy and comradeship. The Author of these sketches is
himself true to his type, and an embodiment of all that is most
worthy and most admirable in the Australian soldier. This book is
part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and
reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and
analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the
passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new
perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human
history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory
essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its
historical context.

This book is not an attempt to describe the work done by this fine
Division. Instead it is a light-hearted look at the character of
the Australian soldier. The best feature of this publication are
the succinct comments in the foreword written by Gen. John Monash.
