Ajouter au panierLarge softcovers, 29x21cm,216 pages : illustrations, portraits, facsimiles , index,signed & inscribed by the owners by McAleer and Cunningham. Bumped corners, some cover scratches. This memoir chronicles Thomas Arthur Dykes story, from his childhood growing up in country Wangaratta to the working class streets of Abbotsford. At…the age of thirty-two, married with four children, he volunteered to serve his country in its hour of need. An original member of the 23rd Battalion, he travelled with his unit from Broadmeadows to Egypt and in typical Digger style he tells it how it was; surviving the sinking of the troopship 'Southland' and the harsh conditions and constant dangers in the trenches at Lone Pine until he was evacuated wounded only weeks before the campaign was given up. From here he is thrown into the horrors of the Western Front: from Fleurbaix to the Somme, from Ypres to Flers, until he fell victim to the winter of 1916/17 and trench feet. A year out of the line, he returned for the final push of 1918 and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for his courage and bravery at Mont St Quentin. But his war wouldn't end for him with the armistice, it just set him up for the struggles he would have to endure in those decades that followed. If you ever wanted to know what a soldier of the AIF had to endure in the First World War - this will tell you.
