Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. This is Captain William Cull's unforgettable story of his experiences in World War I: he fought at Gallipoli and on the Western Front where he was captured by the Germans and was a POW until the end of the war."Originally published in 1919 as 'At all costs'"--T.p. verso.Includes bibliographical references (p. 221-232)Captain William Cull fought the First World War from both sides of the wire. Initially from the allied side on the Western Front where, as a young infantry officer, Cull frequently led patrols out into No Man's Land and raids on the German trenches. He took part in bitter fighting on the Somme at Pozires, and in February 1917 was severely wounded in a futile attack on the German trenches at Gueduecourt, where he was taken prisoner by the Germans. Having survived the ordeal of battle, William Cull spent the remainder of the war on the German side of the wire. The first half of Both Sides of the Wire is an action-packed account of Cull's war on the Western Front in the months leading up to his capture. The second half is a candid portrayal of his experiences as a prisoner of war at the hands of the Germans. Cull endured many months of agony as he recovered in prison camps in occupied France and Germany - in spite of German doctors' early predictions that he would not survive his first night in captivity. This book is based on the memoir, At All Costs, that Captain Cull wrote in the months after his repatriation to Australia in October 1918.Cull, W.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Between 1916 and 1918, more than 3,800 men of the Australian Imperial Force were taken prisoner by German forces fighting on the Western Front. Australians captured in France and Belgium did not easily integrate into public narratives of Australia in the First World War and its commemorative rituals. Captivity was a story of surrender and inaction, at odds with the Anzac legend and a triumphant national memory. Soldiers captured on the Western Front endured a broad range of experiences in German captivity, yet all regarded survival as a personal triumph. Surviving the Great War is the first detailed analysis of the little-known story of Australians in German captivity in the First World War. By placing the hardships of prisoners of war in a broader social and military context, this book adds a new dimension to the national wartime experience and challenges popular representations of Australia's involvement in the First World War.…
