From the Western Front, to the Burma-Thailand railway, Kokoda to
Gallipoli, the essential guide for travellers to the places where
Australian armed forces fought overseas.
Australians are becoming increasingly fascinated by their military history, and
every year greater numbers visit the scenes of the battles commemorated
each Anzac Day - Villers-Bretonneux, Long Tan, Kokoda, Gallipoli
itself. But what can you learn from visiting a battlefield? And how do
you make sure you get the most out of the experience?
Peter
Stanley, one of Australia's most experienced military historians, a
veteran of battlefield research in Borneo and Egypt, Turkey and France,
gives wide-ranging and practical hints and tips, including what to
take, whether to go alone or in a group, how to stay safe, who to
contact before you go, and how to avoid getting sick while you're there.
Drawing
on his own extensive experience, and that of many of his friends and
colleagues, Peter will inspire you to get out of the armchair and walk
the ground where Australia's military history was made.
