Australia in the Great War is a compelling history of Australia & its people during the global conflict of 1914-1918. It charts the experiences of ordinary men & women against a backdrop of momentous events on the international stage, & shows how war helped shape an emerging Australian national identity. It spans the heady days of August 1914, when Australia responded enthusiastically to the mother country`s call for help, through the baptisms of fire at Gallipoli & on the Somme, to the dark days of Passchendaele & the remarkable battlefield performances of 1918 when the Australians were acknowledged as `the shock troops of the British Empire`. Interweaving stories from the home front & the battle front, Australia in the Great War examines the lives (and deaths) of those who fought on European soil. But it also explores the lives of those left half-a-world behind: the civilians at home who watched from afar. Mothers, wives & girlfriends waited anxiously for news `from the front`, & local newspapers published extended commentaries on the happenings overseas. Young men were encouraged to join the colours but there was also a fierce debate on whether conscription to the armed forces should be introduced in Australia. Eventually, in 1919, Australian troops were repatriated, but they found their country much changed, & many had difficulty readjusting to civilian life. This is their story: a tale of sacrifice & bravery in a place far from home. ...
