1915: Australia's Great War (2015) By Sally Murphy
 
The lessons of war are the hardest to learn.
 
The silence was eerie. In the darkness I could just see the mist that swirled around the rowboat. No-one spoke, no-one made a sound. Somewhere ahead a loud report. A shot? Rifle fire, from the beach, which was only dimly coming into view. This was it.
 
When Australia throws its support behind Britain in its fight against Germany, young teacher Stan Moore is one of the first to join up, swapping the classroom for adventure in Europe. But the 11th Battalion is sent with the newly formed Anzac Corp to Gallipoli, where Stan is confronted by the hard lessons of war. Though conditions are dismal and death is everywhere, so is the humour and bravery that is the true spirit of Anzac.
 
Part of the Australia’s Great War series from Scholastic Australia, 1915 is out now,  in time to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the landing of the first ANZACs at Gallipoli.
