BiographyHistory

During World War I, Frank Westbrook served in the AIF in the Field Artillery, in Egypt, Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Some of Westbrook's poems were written during the Gallipoli campaign and many of these appear in his selections, Anzac and After (1916) and Echoes of Anzac (1930). Westbrook evidently claimed not to have written a line of poetry prior to enlisting, however whether this was in fact the case remains a matter of speculation. Further biographical details remain to be established.
