Descripción Paperback. Condición: Fair. 108 pages. Rear cover and last page have 5cm cut. One hundred thousand New Zealanders sailed to war between 1914 and 1918, and at the end of four years of conflict the country had suffered 60 ,000 casualties, including 18,000 dead. Dr Chris Pugsleys account of the First World War (first published as a section in Scars on the Heart: 200 Years of NZ at War, Bateman, 1996), is a tale of learning about war the hard way, by bitter and costly experience, drawing on photographs, letters and diaries to examine the impac t of war through the eyes of those involved. This lively mix of t ext, photographs and soldiers own accounts covers all aspects of the war: from NZs seizing German Samoa five days after war was de clared, ANZAC Cove and Gallipoli, patriotism at home, Mounted Rif les in Sinai and Palestine, the role of our nurses, the Western F ront, and Sea Dogs and Flying Aces how our sailors and airmen fo ught the war.
