Bully Beef & Balderdash

Focusing on the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) during World War I, the book challenges the myths surrounding its legendary status. It examines pivotal battles and the unique character of early enlistees, while questioning popular narratives like Beersheba's cavalry charge and the AIF's volunteer status. Graham Wilson aims to clarify the AIF's true historical reputation, arguing that romanticized tales undermine its genuine accomplishments. This critical analysis promises to provoke thought among those who hold dear the embellished stories of the AIF's past.
