Groundbreaking research exhaustively examining over 12,000 individual soldiers' records has revealed that hospitalisations for wounding, illness and injury suffered by men of the AIF are five times greater than officially acknowledged today. Why has it taken nearly one hundred years for this to come to light? Was it a conspiracy to suppress the toll, incompetence of Australia's official war historians Bean and Butler, or was it simply the unquestioning acceptance of the official record? You are invited on the journey in this book to find the truth. The findings are startling and will rewrite Australia's casualty statistics of the First World War. Lest we forget."--Page 4 of cover. 410 0$aHistory series (Melbourne University Press) 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCasualties$zAustralia 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCasualties$xResearch 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCasualties$vStatistics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCasualties 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCasualties$xResearch. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCasualties 676 $a940.394 700 $aNoonan$b David C.$0999829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480322103321 996 $aThose we forget$92295126 997 $aUNINA
