The Iron Ration: Three Years in Warring Central Europe
Author: George Abel Schreiner
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
During WWI, everything ordinary people strove for was the essentials of living, like food and cloth. George Schreiner, who was working as a reporter for Associated Press in Europe, considered hunger the most horrible experience Central Europe had to come through. "The iron ration" was a name given to the portion of food the soldiers could eat at a battlefield. Usually, the iron ration was allowed to consume when a soldier was starving with hunger. Schreiner chose this term for the title to draw more attention to the problem of hunger in times of war and its role in the success of an army.

Bully Beef & Balderdash
Author: Graham Wilson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1921941618
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
The Australian Imperial Force, first raised in 1914 for overseas war service, became better known by its initials - the "AIF". There was a distinct character to those who enlisted in the earliest months and who were destined to fight on Gallipoli. During the war the AIF took its place among the great armies of the world, on some of history's oldest battlefields. The Australians would attack at the Dardanelles, enter Jerusalem and Damascus, defend Amiens and Ypres, and swagger through the streets of Cairo, Paris, and London, with their distinctive slouch hats and comparative wealth of six shillings per day. However, the legend of the AIF is shrouded in myth and mystery. Was Beersheba the last great cavalry charge in history? Did the AIF storm the red light district of Cairo and burn it to ground while fighting running battles with the military police? Was the AIF the only all-volunteer army of World War I? Graham Wilson's Bully Beef and Balderdash shines an unforgiving light on these and other well-known myths of the AIF in World War I, arguing that these spectacular legends simply serve to diminish the hard-won reputation of the AIF as a fighting force. Graham Wilson mounts his own campaign to rehabilitate the historical reputation of the force and to demonstrate that misleading and inaccurate embellishment does nothing but hide the true story of Australia's World War I fighting army. Bully Beef and Balderdash deliberately tilts at some well-loved windmills and, for those who cherish the mythical story of the AIF, this will not be comfortable reading. Yet, given the extraordinary truth of the AIF's history, it is certainly compelling reading.
