Pens and Bayonets: Letters from the Front by Soldiers of Yorke Peninsula During the Great War - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Les stylos et les baïonnettes donnent la parole aux jeunes soldats australiens qui se sont portés volontaires pour lutter pour notre liberté pendant la Grande Guerre. Ils ont répondu volontiers à l'appel, beaucoup pensant que cela pourrait être fini avant d'arriver. Comme ils avaient tort. L'Australie du Sud et la péninsule de Yorke en particulier étaient fiers de fournir des soldats pour leur pays.
Les lettres ont été écrites pendant les périodes calmes et nous donnent un aperçu et parfois graphique des rencontres quotidiennes pendant la campagne de Gallipoli et diverses offensives sur le front occidental et la Palestine.
Les options de communication abondent à l'ère moderne, mais imaginez les défis d'il y a 100 ans, avec votre fils, frère, oncle ou neveu à l'autre bout du monde, combattant dans ce que nous savons maintenant être des conditions horribles, écrivant une lettre à la maison. Il faudrait des mois pour que la lettre arrive. Avec la lettre est venue une connexion avec la famille qui a donné la croyance que leurs proches étaient en sécurité et, surtout, l'espoir nécessaire que la fin de la Grande Guerre les ramènerait à la maison. Les lettres reçues par les soldats, plusieurs semaines après avoir été écrites, donnaient réconfort et réconfort à ces hommes, et fournissaient leur seul contact avec leurs proches.
Don Longo a rassemblé beaucoup de ces lettres émouvantes, et les a placées dans leur contexte historique, pour ramener ces soldats à la vie.

They answered the call willingly, with many thinking it may be all over before they got there. How wrong they were. South Australia, and Yorke Peninsula in particular, were proud to provide soldiers for their country.The letters were written during quiet periods and give us an insight and sometimes graphic account of the day-to-day encounters during the Gallipoli campaign and various offensives on the Western Front and Palestine.Communication options abound in the modern age, but imagine the challenges of 100 years ago, with your son, brother, uncle or nephew on the other side of the world, fighting in what we now know to be horrendous conditions, writing a letter home.It would take months for the letter to arrive. With the letter came a connection with family that gave a belief that their loved ones were safe and, importantly, the needed hope that the end of the Great War would bring them home.The letters the soldiers received, many weeks after being written, gave comfort and solace to these men, and provided their only contact with loved ones.Don Longo has gathered many of these moving letters, and set them in their historical context, to bring these soldiers back to life.
