This magnificent book presents a new look at the old legend of Anzac, an account of how ordinary blokes from many different countries coped in extraordinary circumstances not only in battle but also back in the trenches. These men whose finders were too frozen to pull the trigger, buried their best mates, slept in holes in the ground and struggled with lice infested clothes. Here is a series of remarkable and absorbing collection of photographs from Australia's major archival collections, many previously unseen. These images often taken by the soldiers themselves, combined with illustrations created for the metropolitan newspapers, were the images responsible for creating the public memory of Gallipoli back in Australia..
