The Western Front Diaries: Winning World War I
The ANZAC's Western Front campaign had a greater impact than Gallipoli in almost every aspect: five times more soldiers served and were killed there, more than five times as many battles took place and it was there that an astounding 52 Victoria Crosses were awarded to Australians. Using brutally honest and extraordinary eyewitness accounts, this dramatic story comes straight from soldiers who actually fought in those bloody trenches on the notorious Western Front. A moving dramatization of 'The Western Front Diaries', the landmark book written by historian Dr. Jonathan King to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the end of World War I. Narrated by Jack Thompson.
