The Anzac Book: Humour during the horrors of war
Good morning, members!
As I was doing some research for our newsletter Dawn Service for today, I stumbled across this article in The Daily Telegraph about The ANZAC Book.
This articles speaks a lot about the humour of the ANZACs throughout the horrors of the war, and I just wanted to share with you a few of the funny pictures in this book. According to The Daily Telegraph, this book was 'put together in a dugout overlooking Anzac Cove during the final weeks of the Gallipoli campaign as Turkish bullets and heavier ordnance whistled overhead. At least one soldier was killed while preparing his contribution for The Anzac Book, written and illustrated by Diggers as they sheltered under waterproof sheets or a roof of sandbags in the trenches.'
Please enjoy some of the images from the book below.
