Description

Almost a century has passed since the signing of the armistice on 11 November 1918.

Of all the soldiers who went through that hell on earth, photographs, letters, stories and old uniforms kept in attics are all that is left.

Thanks to a collection of more than ten thousand documents, the author allows us to follow these young men with previously unseen photographs.

All these faces, sometimes smiling, sometimes serious, have a story to tell.

Many collectors have also allowed us access to their most precious objects, the fruit of their relentless research that helps save these objects that went through four terrible years of oblivion and destruction.

Finally, being in the era of Internet, many links allow you to retrace the history of your ancestors and their regiments. Following their baptism of fire at Gallipoli in 1915, the Australians arrived on the Western Front in spring 1916.

A few months later came the Somme with 24,000 casualties and the tragic events of Fromelles.

Then, these tough men, who had travelled so far, continued fighting in France in 1917 and 1918.

Since then, the bond of friendship between France and Australia is still going strong.
