| Summary |
"Elena Govor has revealed a part of Australian cultural history that was, until now, silent. Extraordinarily, it was men born in the former Russian Empire that constituted the most numerous group in the First Australian Imperial Force, after those of Anglo or Celtic background. Almost 1000 Russian-born Anzacs, among whom were ethnic Russians and Baltic peoples, Jews, Finns, Ossetians and Germans." "Finding these men has been the fruit of monumental and painstaking research at the National Archives of Australia and the Australian War Memorial. Here Elena Govor traces their stories from pre-revolutionary Russia through the devastation of war and its aftermath to the cultural diversity of modern-day Australia."--BOOK JACKET |
