Anzac History World War I Letters from the trenches of WWI Gallipoli France Ted and Annie Smythe lived in Jerilderie in western NSW with their 9 children: 4 boys Bert, Viv, Percy and Vern; 3 girls Viola, Ida and Rita; then 2 more boys Eric and Gordon. They moved to Sydney in 1912 so that their oldest daughter could attend Fort St High School and their younger children could have better opportunities. The four older boys helped get the deposit to build a very modest four-roomed cottage in Kogarah which they named Koppin Yarratt. They had all left school before the age of 12 and had joined the Post Master General's office where they learnt Morse Code and educated themselves to gain promotions. All four boys enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces (A.I.F.) soon after the outbreak of WWI in 1914. Bert (aged 25) and Vern (20) were at The Landing at Gallipoli, Percy (21) sailed on the "Orsova" in July, Viv (23) did Officer Training and had married his long-time sweetheart Clytie, before sailing in September. The Homefolk: Eric, Ida, Rita, Annie, Ted, Gordon.

Feature Articles - The Causes of World War One June 28 in Sarajevo We'll start with the facts and work back: it may make it all the easier to understand how World War One actually happened. The events of July and early August 1914 are a classic case of "one thing led to another" - otherwise known as the treaty alliance system. The explosive that was World War One had been long in the stockpiling; the spark was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. Ferdinand's death at the hands of the Black Hand, a Serbian nationalist secret society, set in train a mindlessly mechanical series of events that culminated in the world's first global war. Austria-Hungary's Reaction Austria-Hungary's reaction to the death of their heir (who was in any case not greatly beloved by the Emperor, Franz Josef, or his government) was three weeks in coming. However, Serbia had long had Slavic ties with Russia, an altogether different proposition for Austria-Hungary. One Thing Led to Another

The Hue of Battle: The World of Trench Warfare in Color - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International What the public remembers, it remembers in pictures. Wars, even more than other events, tend to survive in the popular imagination not just as a chronology of events, but also as an archive of images. When it comes to remembering the World War I, most of us have had to content ourselves with a visual inheritance almost exclusively limited to black and white photography. No longer. In a new book edited by historian Peter Walther, an extraordinary set of color images from the wartime photographer Hands Hilderbrand will be published for the first time. The pictures force us to alter our impression of the war as a gray and cloudy affair, confronting us instead with an unsettling portait of devastating iridescence. As Europeans massacred one another with unprecedented efficiency on the fields of Flanders, they were greeted with sunshine and lush landscapes. Now we know that German war photographers also took photos in color, using the same "autochrome" method used by the French.
