"13 Battery was one of three batteries making up the 5th Artillery Brigade during the Great War. The on going digitisation of unit diaries from that and subsequent conflicts has allowed the public to peer deep into the day to day experiences of these ANZAC gunners. This book is a summary of more than four years of diary entries from persons largely unknown who experienced boredom, fear and carnage never before seen."--Back cover.
