WWI History

Australia's involvement in World War I was a defining moment in the nation's history, shaping its identity and leaving a lasting legacy. Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) served at Gallipoli - ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine and the Nek and Beersheba - the charge of the Australian Light Horse, the Western Front - Fromelles, Pozières, Bullecourt, and Passchendaele. The mythology of ANZAC was forged. Australians also fought in the Russian Civil War. We have memoirs and biographies, particularly on Sir John Monash.
