A complete account of the Battle of Fromelles, this revised edition delves into the conflict deemed ?the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history” by the Australian War Memorial. The battle, which took place July 19?20, 1916, was the first call to action for the Australian Imperial Force during World War I. A disaster from a military-planning perspective, the clash left 5,533 Australian soldiers killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. Integrating maps, images, diairies, letters, and reproduced documents, this dense reference chronicles all the events of the failed operation against German forces.
