Описание: Australians remember the dead of 25 April 1915 on Anzac Day every year. But do we know the name of a single soldier who died that day? What do we really know about the men supposedly most cherished in the national memory of war?Peter Stanley goes looking for the Lost Boys of Anzac: the men of the very first wave to land at dawn on 25 April 1915 and who died on that day. There were exactly 101 of them. They were the first to volunteer, the first to go into action, and the first of the 60,000 Australians killed in that conflict.Lost Boys of Anzac traces who these men were, where they came from and why they came to volunteer for the AIF in 1914. It follows what happened to them in uniform and, using sources overlooked for nearly a century, uncovers where and how they died, on the ridges and gullies of Gallipoli - where most of them remain to this day. And we see how the Lost Boys were remembered by those who knew and loved them, and how they have since faded from memory.
When the Anzac Memorial, opened in 1934, eager crowds were enthralled by the evocative sculptures by Rayner Hoff. Unfortunately, controversy over one of Hoff's artworks and his premature death resulted in these sculptures being largely overlooked for the past 80 years.
The Naked Soldier will help visitors understand the symbolism of Hoff's 40 sculptures in the Anzac Memorial. It sheds new light on his amazing gift to the people of New South Wales, who were still grieving from the slaughter of the First World War.
Above all, this book shows that Rayner Hoff created the central sculpture, Sacrifice, to depict the burden placed on women when their men were killed in the war. With this substantially revised edition, a visit to the Anzac Memorial will now be a richer experience because Hoff's messages of empathy are available to visitors.

Описание: Ten years after the end of World War I, the Sydney Sun reported that an unknown Anzac still lay in a Sydney psychiatric hospital. Thousands of people in Australia and New Zealand responded to this story and began an international campaign to find the man's family. The story tapped into deep wells of sorrow and uncertainty which had been covered over by commemorations of Anzac heroism and honorable national sacrifice. More than a quarter of the Anzac dead had no known resting place. Might this be someone's missing son? David Hastings follows this one previously unknown Anzac, George McQuay, from rural New Zealand through Gallipoli and the Western Front, through desertions and hospitals, and finally home to New Zealand. By doing so, he takes us deep inside the Great War and the human mind.
