Review:
The Australian War Memorial is a shrine, museum, and archive that commemorates the sacrifice of those Australians who died in war. Les Carlyon is the former editor of the Melbourne Age and the former editor-in-chief of the Herald. He is the author of Gallipoli.
“The material in The Anzac Book was conceived, written and sketched, and painted in holes in the ground while the fighting was still going on. This is what makes it unique.” —Les Carlyon, author, Gallipoli and The Great War
