OUR SOLDIERS: Bungendore & The Great War

The history of the Australian soldiers who came from the Bungendore region during World War 1.

The people of Bungendore, New South Wales, shared the experiences of World War I with the Australian population of the time. The village was in no way more or less remarkable than any other. This book is an attempt to fix in the memory of that town now what life and death in the service of one’s country could mean then. It reminds us of the life of another time and recalls the characters of the men who were willing to die to maintain that life for those who survived. ‘…a detailed and sensitive tribute to the fallen of one typical Australian town.’ – Canberra Times. pp. 197 illusts First Edition #0620
