Notes

  • Dedication: Inscribed (in grateful admiration) to the gallant officers and soldiers of the Australian Imperial Forces; who, on the peninsula of Gallipoli, have 'jeoparded their lives unto the death upon the high places of the field', and whose valour and skill have won for themselves, and for these lands of the south, undying renown.
  • Epigraph: Traynings of men, and Arming them in severall places, and under severall Commanders...are things of Defence, and no Danger. Neither is Money the Sinewes of Warre (as it is trivially said) where the Sinewes of Men's Armes, in base and Effeminate People, are failing. For Solon said well to Croesus, 'Sir, if any Other come that hath better Iron than you, he will be Master of all this Gold'. - Francis Bacon (Lord Verulam)
