Our corner of the Somme: Australia at Villers-Bretonneux
Before the First World War, Villers-Bretonneux was a lively and flourishing French town dedicated to textiles and agriculture.

| Zusammenfassung: | Before the First World War, Villers-Bretonneux was a lively and flourishing French town dedicated to textiles and agriculture. By the time of the Armistice, it had been largely destroyed, and half its population had fled or died. From March to August 1918, Villers-Bretonneux formed part of an active front line, where Australian troops were heavily involved. As a result, it holds a significant place in Australian history. At the end of the war, Villers-Bretonneux became an open-air memorial to Australia's participation in the First World War. Successive Australian governments have valorised the Australian engagement, contributing to an evolving Anzac narrative that has become entrenched in Australia's national identity. Our Corner of the Somme provides a robust, eye-opening analysis of the memorialisation of Australia's role on the Western Front and the Anzac mythology that so heavily contributes to Australian's understanding of themselves. In this rigorous and richly detailed study, Dr Romain Fathi challenges accepted historiography by examining the assembly, projection and performance of Australia's national identity in northern France. -- Dust jacket flap |
