Summary: "The Anzac Book" by C. E. W. Bean is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a collective memoir and creative compilation by the men of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (A.N.Z.A.C.) during their time at Gallipoli in World War I. It reflects the experiences, hardships, and camaraderie of the soldiers, capturing their shared spirit and the realities of trench warfare. The opening of "The Anzac Book" presents an introduction that outlines the book's purpose and origins, detailing how it was crafted under extreme conditions amidst gunfire and the chaos of battle. Initially intended as a New Year magazine for the troops, it transformed into a keepsake as the evacuation from Gallipoli loomed closer. The introduction touches on the camaraderie among the soldiers and the contrast between their grim reality and their hopes for the future. The narrative then shifts into accounts of the landing at Anzac Cove, recounting the soldiers’ determination, their grim humor amidst adversity, and the harrowing reality of combat, setting the stage for the poignant and heartfelt contributions that follow throughout the collection.
