| Description: |
The official Australian casualty statistics for the First World War are seriously wrong. Groundbreaking research has revealed that hospitalisations were five times greater than officially acknowledged today. Why has it taken nearly one hundred years for this to come to light? Conspiracy, incompetence, or simply the unquestioning acceptance of the official record? You are invited on a journey in this book to find the truth. The findings are startling and will rewrite Australia's casualty statistics of WWI. |
