Sgt Edward David (Ted) Smout OAM was Queensland’s Last Anzac who died on 22 June 2004. A man, who typically at the time lied about his age to enlist, survived the ravages of war after spending some time fighting at the Somme in 1918. He was an eyewitness to the final moments of the infamous “Red Baron”, Manfred von Richtofen. He was discharged on 8 September 1919 10 months following the Armistice on 11 November 1918. Smout was awarded France’s highest honour, a Chevalier of the Legion d’Honneur in 1998 and an OAM for service to the community. The Ted Smout Memorial Bridge which crosses Bramble Bay linking Clontarf and Brighton was named in his honour in 2009.

St John's Cathedral in Brisbane has long cherished the memory of Australian Defence Force personnel who have fought and served in key military conflicts in which Australia has been engaged. The Cathedral was one of the first institutions in the country to commemorate the historic dawn landings at Gallipoli when it conducted a requiem Eucharist for 'The Fallen" on 10th June 1915, a mere 46 days after the landings.'The Gallipoli campaign created the 'Anzac legend': a set of beliefs that Australian troops - the 'Diggers' - had special qualities that set them apart and reflected uniquely Australian characteristics of humour, courage, tenacity, ruggedness and 'mateship' - reflected in the renowned fighting capacity displayed in all subsequent conflicts in which Australians have participated.Since 1915, St John's has honoured our service personnel through a series of striking memorials which recount Gallipoli and subsequent engagements. They include stained-glass windows, war treasures, regimental colours and flags, and commemorative plaques. This book recounts the conflicts behind the memorials, and the moving stories of heroism - and also of trauma, suffering and sacrifice - which accompanied them. The book's canvas moves from Gallipoli to the Battle of Beersheba in the Middle East and the Western Front in Europe during the First World War. It takes in the Battles of Britain and El Alamein in the Second World War and the gruelling campaign in Papua and New Guinea when Australia was fighting for its very survival.A particular highlight is the Cathedral's 'Gallipoli flag', the very last flag flown at the evacuation of the Anzacs from Gallipoli in December 1915. The flag was carried under enemy fire by an Army chaplain (a Queenslander) on the final day of the evacuation, marking it as one of Australia's most significant and symbolic artefacts.This book was initially designed for Queensland secondary schools for the study of Anzac Day and the various conflicts in which Australian forces have fought in the Anzac tradition. It is also a 'must read' for anyone interested in Australia's military history and the evocative stories behind Australia's experience of war.

In early August 1914, Arthur Steel and his best mate, Don Cameron travel to Sydney from their hometown of Warwick, Queensland to enlist in the 1st Brigade of the Australian Imperial Force. On April 25, 1915 they storm the beaches of Gallipoli, Turkey in the second wave of the Anzac attack. The Australians are cut to pieces. Arthur is shot on the third day, but survives. Don is later killed at the Battle of Lone Pine. Following in their footsteps, Arthur’s brothers, Herbert and Robert - along with their cousin William - all enlist in the Light Horse Brigade. Don Cameron’s brother Bob, joins the infantry. Arthur recovers in England and returns to 2nd Battalion to fight on in the trenches of the Western Front. He is gassed under Hill 60, hit with shrapnel at Ypres and shot three more times. One town, two families, six sons. By war’s end, each will each face a different outcome. This is their story - from Gallipoli to Armistice Day and beyond.

This book recounts the life stories of a small group of Queensland 9th Battalion Anzacs who hold the unique honour of being the first soldiers ashore at the Gallipoli landing in 1915. For World War 1 Diggers, their identity was a serious and sometimes contentious matter of battalion pride. Over the decades, these first Anzacs have gained a significant place in the Anzac Legend. Extensive research has confidently identified 26 of the approximate 30 Anzacs who were in this first boat ashore. Their life stories are retold to intimately reveal the war experiences of ordinary Australians. Heroic actions and horrendous ordeals are highlighted. Mateship, self-sacrifice, dedication to duty and changing identity are recurring themes. While many of those who survived returned home to broken lives, for some, the unique and proud identity as first ashore, 'original' Anzacs inspired strength and leadership. Important contributions were made to the post-war community and veteran affairs.

Can Lachie be the father Hannah needs? And the man Abbie deserves? Lachie McGuire is trying to make a fresh start. He’s sobered up and is making amends for all the people he has hurt and the pain he has caused. But some of his past actions have consequences. Even if he doesn’t remember them. Needing her independence, single-mum Abbie Forsyth accepted a nursing position in the small outback town of Julia Creek and uprooted her daughter, Hannah from the only life she had ever known. Now, in the dusty, sun burned land they are creating a life together, just the two of them. When Lachie is injured and needs medical assistance, Abbie is there for him. She’s by his side every step of the way, including letting him stay with them while he recovers from surgery. But Abbie knows how volatile life with an addict can be and she has to think about her daughter’s safety above her own growing affection for the handsome grazier. Then tragedy strikes the small rural town and secrets begin to unravel… Return to the Outback for the third instalment in the bestselling Brigadier Station series.

The Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-1918 is a 12-volume series covering Australian involvement in the First World War. The series was edited by C.E.W. Bean, who also wrote six of the volumes, and was published between 1920 and 1942. The first seven volumes deal with the Australian Imperial Force while other volumes cover the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force at Rabaul, the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Flying Corps and the home front; the final volume is a photographic record. Unlike other official histories that have been aimed at military staff, Bean intended the Australian history to be accessible to a non-military audience. The relatively small size of the Australian forces enabled the history to be presented in great detail, giving accounts of individual actions that would not have been possible when covering a larger force.
