Gallipoli hero, Victoria Cross recipient, battalion
and brigade commander, conqueror of Damascus and defiant antagonist
of the Japanese – by any measure Arthur Seaforth Blackburn
was one of Australia’s most remarkable soldiers.
This, the first Blackburn biography, details
the famous battles that shaped Australia. It tells Blackburn’s
story through the eyes of his comrades, including many from his
battalion who survived the horrors of the Burma Railway, and includes
photographs taken by Blackburn never published before.
