Wounded many times and even buried by shellfire, he always came through. At times he brought in the wounded, at other times he supplied vital intelligence of enemy activity. At one point he even rallied troops as a combat officer. His war record was unique.' -- General Sir John Monash, commander, Australian Army Corps \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCameras were banned at the Western Front when the Anzacs arrived in 1916, prompting correspondent Charles Bean to argue continually for Australia to have a dedicated photographer. He was eventually assigned an enigmatic polar explorer -- George Hubert Wilkins. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Within weeks of arriving at the front, Wilkins' exploits were legendary. He went 'over the top' with the troops and ran forward to photograph the actual fighting. He led soldiers into battle, captured German prisoners, was wounded repeatedly, and was twice awarded the Military Cross -- all while he refused to carry a gun and armed himself only with a bulky glass-plate camera. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWilkins ultimately produced the most detailed and accurate collection of World War I photographs in the world, which is now held at the Australian War Memorial. After the war, Wilkins returned to exploring and, during the next 40 years, his life became shrouded in secrecy. His work at the Western Front was forgotten, and others claimed credit for his photographs. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Unseen Anzac\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeff Maynard follows a trail of myth and misinformation to locate Wilkins' lost records and reveal the remarkable, true story of Australia's greatest war photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-223234\"\u003eJeff Maynard\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribe Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947534179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947534173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO006000\"\u003eHistorical\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027090\"\u003eMilitary | World War I\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS010020\"\u003eWestern Europe | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Scribe Us","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51141466718495,"sku":"9781947534179","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/6953\/0143\/files\/img_f2493be3-db8d-4b49-b5a9-6f845ba559aa.jpg?v=1755673412","url":"https:\/\/www.mocorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/the-unseen-anzac-how-an-enigmatic-explorer-created-australias-world-war-i-photographs-9781947534179","provider":"MOCorrectionsbookstore.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
