Anzac Cove to Afghanistan

Product Description

As the first Anzacs to land at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915 and among the last to serve in Afghanistan 100 years later, the men and women of the Australian Army's 3rd Brigade have a long and proud history. Initially raised in 1903, the 3rd Brigade served as part of the Australian Imperial Force during World War I, suffering appalling losses at Gallipoli. On the Western Front the brigade endured three years of horrendous trench warfare, its four infantry battalions alone incurring a casualty rate of over 300%.
