The narrative centers on the 47th Battalion of the 1st Australian Imperial Force, which faced extreme challenges during World War I. Formed in 1916 and disbanded two years later, the battalion endured one of the highest casualty rates among Australian units, fighting in some of the war's most brutal campaigns. Despite facing command issues and relentless attrition, their story is marked by remarkable courage and resilience. The survivors' reunion in Belgium, where only 73 remained, underscores a poignant bond forged through shared hardship and sacrifice.
