Introduction
‘One miserable scribbler’ and a little bit of ribbon
‘A matter of chance’
Bullets ‘thick as hail’
‘I begin to hate the damned country where I was born’
‘An ardent Australian patriot’
‘I managed to get the buggers, Sir’
‘The bravest man in the Aussie Army’
‘Tell Dad I’m still fighting’
‘A compelling, ubiquitous figure’
An ideal leader
‘I wasn’t mad’
‘Hit with a sledge hammer’
A paradoxical attitude to heroes
‘To live and learn and see much’
Cross purposes
Down to the wire
The endless day
The larrikin
One of our very best
One among many
‘Guest of the Emperor’
That moment of decision
Courage beyond compare
‘That’s what I’m here for, Sir’
‘His crew before himself’
‘One’s nerves suffer a bit’
A wall of fire
A war of nerves
‘Indomitable’
‘We went and had a beer’
Anomalies
