Riassunto

During the Great War of 1914-1918, the Church of England (or Anglican Church) in Australia was prominent in support of the war at home and abroad. Based on memorials, parish records, newspaper archives, songs and poetry of the war years, and other primary sources,  For God, King and Country  is a contribution to the social history of Melbourne, and Australia, told through the lens of the then strong churches, and the people who formed community in them. 'This is an excellent book. It is a tale of sustained sacrifice made by Australians from Melbourne on distant battlefields in a bloody and brutal war whose centenary we are currently marking... There are so many people in this book whose stories are relayed with gentle sensitivity.' - Rev Dr Bruce Kaye, The Melbourne Anglican
