- Summary:
-
"Digger Smith and Australia's Great War takes as its subject Australians called Smith who experienced (and in the case of about 900 of them died in) the Great War, but it does not just tell their story. Theirs was-and remanins-the most common surname in the English speaking world. There were Smiths in every unit of the Australian Imperial Force ... . The Smiths' stories stand for the great drama of Australia's Great War. This book tells them by looking at key experiences of the war, beginning with their enlistment and moving through and beyond the war, including the experiences of the real little Smiths 'uv Collin'wood'."--Dust jacket gate fold.
