Comments: Wellington’s Finest is a detailed account of the contribution of all the men and women that enlisted from the Wellington district of central west New South Wales during the Great War of 1914 – 1918.
Military historians will be delighted to find many first-hand accounts from Diggers included, in which they tell of their experiences in camps, on troopships, in hospitals and in the battlefields of Gallipoli, the Middle East and the Western Front. We have also been fortunate to uncover collections of photographs taken by the Diggers that have never before been made available to the public. These primary sources are a highlight of the book and will enable persons from all parts of Australia to gain an idea of the experiences of those who served in the Great War. As a study in local history, ‘Wellington’s Finest’ provides a model for others who wish to research the names on their memorials and honour rolls.
