In April and May 1917, the village of Bullecourt, near
Arras, in the north of France, was the scene of one of the
biggest bloodbaths of the First World War. The ground of
the former battlefield still retains the bodies of hundreds of
missing Australian, British and German soldiers ...
The memory of the deadly combat would have remained buried
as well were it not for the efforts of a couple of schoolteachers
who took an interest in the ordeal of these soldiers in the 1980's.
For more than three decades, Claude and Colette Durand have
gathered dozens of accounts of Australian veterans which now
allow us to get a clearer picture of the horror that was the battle
of Bullecourt. In the process, they formed a long-lasting bond
with Australia about the sacrifice of these men who came from
the ends of the earth.
But the book also shows the hidden face of the commemorative
events that mark the centenary of World War 1, as the official
tributes mask a shadier reality.
