Nothing in Australian history, before or since, can match the drama and tragedy of the country's participation in the First World War between 1914 and 1918. During those four turbulent years, the bravest and brightest young men willingly went to war on the other side of the world under the name Anzac - Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. After the bloodshed at Gallipoli, they were sent out among millions of soldiers on the Western Front. There, against all odds and despite everyone's expectations of an incomparable military force, they developed. While the mighty armies of Europe crumbled around them, this small group of volunteer civilians miraculously managed to hold out and have a decisive influence on the outcome of that terrible war. They had changed the map of Europe and had become legendary, but at a shockingly high cost to themselves and their young homeland. Their greatly reduced numbers combined with an overwhelming war fatigue meant that their story was never told. Not until now.
