1 ‘Truthful, Upright, and Morally Brave’ Sarah Midford , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: History Australia , vol. 14 no. 3 2017; (p. 490-492)

'C.E.W. (Charles) Bean embarked from Melbourne in 1914, accompanying the first convoy of Australian troops to Egypt. He witnessed the Australian Imperial Force landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915, and was the only war correspondent to remain at Gallipoli for the duration of the campaign. In 1916, he followed the troops to France, where he remained until the war concluded in 1918. Throughout the war, and upon his return to Australia, Bean dedicated himself to ensuring that the memory of the deeds undertaken by the Australian soldiers of the First World War would not be forgotten.' (Introduction)
