Here is a first-hand account of war as seen through the eyes of a young Australian Soldier, Vic Richardson. In this ANZAC's war diary we have graphic accounts of trench warfare, the pressure of life under enemy shelling, and the impact of the new weapons of war: the German gas and the Allied tanks. Leave in Paris and recuperation in Europe were also part of Sergeant Richardson's war. The war against mud, rain, frost, snow, rats, and lice are all described in this book.
