Images of war : World War One : a photographic record of New Zealanders at war 1914-1918 / Glyn Harper and Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum. - 336 pages : chiefly illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references.
In 1914, despite being forbidden, many a Kiwi soldier's kitbag included a portable camera, known as "The Soldiers' Kodak". In a major research project, Glyn Harper and the Queen Elizabeth II Army Memorial Museum have combined official war photographs with more informal images to produce a moving visual history. While primarily drawn from the Museum's collection, many photographs from private sources have been included ... Chosen to depict each theatre of the 1914-18 war, including Gallipoli, Sinai-Palestine and the Western Front, poignant images from the home front are also included, along with graphic portraits of wounded soldiers, whose treatment marked the beginings of modern plastic surgery ... Here, some 90 years after the war ended, is the first collection of photographs of New Zealanders at war. Poignant, stirring and at time unbearable, it records the appalling, brutalising, mundane and touching experiences of those who were there. Lest we ever forget."--Inside front cover.
