Explores the wartime experience of rural Australians during World War I, focusing on the country towns and hamlets of north-eastern Victoria. Demonstrates how the experience of the war was dramatically localised in rural areas, as its every aspect was shaped by individual journalists, councillors or leading local citizens. Details the impact of this intimacy on German inhabitants, who were known as trusted neighbours in rural communities, though reviled as 'the enemy' in the cities. Includes photographs, tables, notes, bibliography and index. Author is head of the history and politics program at the University of Wollongong.

Regional Australia And The Great War written by Philip Payton and has been published by Liverpool University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012 with History categories.

In this book, Philip Payton provides a vivid insight into the experiences of regional Australia during the Great War of 1914-18. Alighting upon 'old Kio', the copper-mining communities of South Australia's northern Yorke Peninsula, he describes the relationship between the 'homefront' and the 'battlefront' half-a-world away. He draws an intimate portrait of Australia at war, from the lives (and deaths) of local soldiers--all volunteers--in the trenches far from home to the myriad reactions and activities of those in a community struggling to grasp the enormity of the situation in which it found itself. The book shows how community cohesion was fractured by increasing tensions and divisions, not least over the Conscription debate, as the war dragged on. And it shows how those volunteer soldiers fared in each of the great battles in which the Australians participated--from Gallipoli to the Western Front and the heady days of 1918.

This book explores an Australian regional community’s reaction to, and involvement with, the Boer War. It argues that after the initial year the war became an ‘occasional war’ in that it was assumed that the empire would triumph. But it also laid the foundations for reactions to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. This is the first exploration of the place of the Boer War in Australian history at the community level. Indeed, even at the national level the literature is limited. It is often forgotten that, despite the claims that Australia became a federation via peaceful means, the colonies and the new nation were, in fact, at war. This study aims to bring back into focus a forgotten part of Australian and imperial history, and argues that the Australian experience of the Boer War was more than the execution of Morant and Hancock.

When the Great War began in August 1914, the people ofNew South Wales took up the call to arms. NSW sent more people than any other state to serve overseas and many more worked and volunteered to support the war effort. But the economic, political and emotional strains of war, and the loss of so many young men, and some women, in the service of their country, fanned social and political divisions and wrought lasting changes to the society to which serving men and women would return. New South Wales and the Great War is an authoritative history that uses the rich visual and written records of the marvelous repositories of our collective past to reveal the impact of war on the ordinary citizens of NSW, in theatres of combat and at home in our cities, towns and rural communities.
