"ANZACS on the Western Front : the Australian War Memorial battlefield guide" is the definitive guide to the Western Front battlefields.

Lavishly illustrated in vibrant colour, with fascinating images from the Australian War Memorial archive as well as new panoramic location shots to provide an in situ perspective for the reader, each chapter covers the important tactical milestones passed along the way and explains how the Australian Imperial Force and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force evolved to meet the war's changing demands. |
