The starting date for this volume is central to Australia's self-definition; it is the year of the most famous battle in Australian military history - Gallipoli, during World War I. It marked the first time that Australians fought as a nation rather than part of the British military, and the Gallipoli campaign has come to signify a legendary image of the Australian character - one who is brave in the face of danger, stoic in adversity, and loyal to ones comrades.
