Download or read book Fromelles and Pozi res written by Peter FitzSimons and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Trenches of Hell On July 19, 1916, 7000 Australian soldiers - in the first major action of the AIF on the Western Front - attacked entrenched German positions at Fromelles in northern France. By the next day, there were over 5500 casualties, including nearly 2000 dead - a bloodbath that the Australian War Memorial describes as 'the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history. Just days later, three Australian Divisions attacked German positions at nearby Pozières, and over the next six weeks they suffered another 23,000 casualties. Of that bitter battle, the great Australian war correspondent Charles Bean would write, "The field of Pozières is more consecrated by Australian fighting and more hallowed by Australian blood than any field which has ever existed . . ." Yet the sad truth is that, nearly a century on from those battles, Australians know only a fraction of what occurred. This book brings the battles back to life and puts the reader in the moment, illustrating both the heroism displayed and the insanity of the British plan. With his extraordinary vigour and commitment to research, Peter FitzSimons shows why this is a story about which all Australians can be proud. And angry.

Download or read book The Tanks at Flers written by Trevor Pidgeon and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long out of print, Trevor Pidgeon s seminal and comprehensive work - The Tank at Flers - is here reproduced in its entirety. To coincide with the 100th anniversary of the event, the Tank Museum is re-publishing the book in conjunction with Helion & Company. The original edition - privately printed in 1995 in two volumes - is now hard to find and often commands a three-figure sum. The account of the very first tank attack on 15 September at what became known as the 'Battle of Flers Courcellete' has never been bettered. The book takes the reader through the invention of the tank, the early recruiting and training of the first crews at Bisley (then Elveden) and their transfer to France, and their preparation to attack in September at what was to be the last part of the Somme offensive. Chapters then show in detail the planning, routes taken and the actions and outcomes of each of the attacks - starting on the right of the British attack with the 56th, 6th and Guards Division; the left of the attack with the 47th, 50th, 15th and 2nd Canadian Divisions; and in the centre with the 14th, 41st and New Zealand Division. There are extensive appendices, as well as a Bibliography and Index. Each chapter ends with a field guide for those who wish to retrace the tank attacks and the area mentioned on the ground. Trevor Pidgeon's book is copiously illustrated with black and white and colour photographs, maps and is punctuated by personal accounts and original documents. The book is full of telling detail and a wealth of information on the men, the technology and the locations. As he says in his Preface, he aimed to write a comprehensive and detailed history of the day: If we know that a distance is 343m rather than 350m, should we not say so? - and yet this attention to detail in no way gets fussy or in the way of the story. Throughout the book, the respect and sympathy of the author for the men who had to take the first tanks into action is so apparent."

Download or read book Missing But Not Forgotten written by Ken Linge and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories offering insight into the lives of 200 of the 72,000 men who went missing in action at the Battle of the Somme in France during WWI. The Thiepval Memorial commemorates over 72,000 men who have no known grave; all went missing in the Somme sector during the three years of conflict that finally ended on 20 March 1918. The book is not a military history of the Battle of the Somme, it is about personal remembrance, and features over 200 fascinating stories of the men who fought and died and whose final resting places have not been identified. Countries within the UK are all well represented, as are the men whose roots were in the far-flung reaches of the Empire and even foreigners. The stories that lie behind each of the names carved into the memorials panels illustrate the various backgrounds and differing lives of these men. The diverse social mix of the men young and old, gentry to laborers, actors, artists, clergy, poets, sportsmen, writers, and more is something that stands out in the book. Despite their social differences, what is most apparent is the wide impact of the loss for over fifty widows, around 100 children left fatherless and over thirty families mourning more than one son. Ranks from private to lieutenant colonel are expertly covered, as well as all seven winners of the Victoria Cross. These captivating stories stand as remembrance for each man and to all the others on the memorial. They are meticulously organized so the book can be of use to visitors as they walk around the memorial; as a name is viewed, the story behind that name can be read. Praise for Missing but Not Forgotten “This book specifically explores what is known about the lives and service of 200 of those men. The men selected aptly represent the wide variety of those who fought in the epic conflict, from laborers to gentry, from humble Tommies to VC recipients. Photographs, diary entries and other accounts bring at least a few of the sobering ranks of names to life.” —Your Family History
