Now fully revised for 2023, this is the essential and comprehensive
guide to the Australian battlefields of the Western Front for
anyone who wants to walk in the footsteps of the Anzacs. From one
of Australia's leading battlefield historians, Mat McLachlan,
Walking with the Anzacs covers the fourteen most important Anzac
battlefields, including Passchendaele, Pozières and Bullecourt.
With illustrated walking tours and comprehensive descriptions of
battles, this is the definitive guide for anyone who wants to walk
in the footsteps of the first Anzacs, see where they fought, and
marvel at their spirit and bravery. Each tour is designed around
easily accessible walking routes and features a detailed
description of the battle and moving quotes from the men who
witnessed the battle first-hand. Areas of interest that you can
expect to see on your walk including battlefield landmarks,
memorials to the men who fought there and the cemeteries where many
of them still lie. Walking with the Anzacs is fully revised and
updated for 2023, and it is the ultimate guide for anyone
interested in learning about the history of our Anzacs and
retracing their footsteps on the Western Front.
More than 30,000 Australians visit Gallipoli every year, and the
numbers are increasing each year as the centenary of the landing
approaches in 2015. This practical guide book enables them plan
their trip, work out what to see and in what order, and gives the
historical background to the major battles. It gives all the
necessary information - both practical and historical - to
appreciate what happened, and where. Detailed tours (both walking
and with transport) are described, and accompanied by specially
drawn maps.
