Book Launch - Tasmanian Anzacs by Stefan Petrow
Join us at Petrarch's Bookshop as we welcome Stefan Petrow in conversation with Marion Sargent, President of the Historical Society.
Much has been written about the Anzac experience in World War One, but the unique contribution of Tasmanian soldiers has been largely overlooked.
Tasmanian Anzacs expands our understanding of the Great War by drawing on previously unexamined private letters, diaries and thousands of service records of Tasmanian soldiers who served in the 12th and 52nd Battalions of the Australian Imperial Force and their families who supported them.
Recounting acts of great courage, physical and mental hardships, capture by the enemy and death on the battlefield, Tasmanian Anzacs commemorates the varied experience of Tasmanian soldiers and their grieving families endured in this richly detailed history of war's human impact.
Stefan Petrow is an Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Tasmania.
All welcome. Free tickets provides general admission.
