The last Anzacs : lest we forget

Stephens, Tony2009
Book
"More than 75,000 Australians and New Zealanders went to war on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. They shared a horror, but their courage and deeds on a battlefield of tragic errors and unimaginable suffering helped build a legend, the legend of the Anzacs. The British lost more men on Gallipoli than did the Anzacs. The Anzacs lost more men on the Western Front than they did against the Turks at Gallipoli. Yet, rightly or wrongly, Gallipoli is etched deepest into the Australian and New Zealand psyches. Now, all the original Anzacs, the men of Gallipoli, are gone. This book records the lives of the last of them."--Back cover.
