Summary
"The Anzac Book - Written and Illustrated in Gallipoli by the Men of Anzac - For the benefit of Patriotic Funds connected with the A.& N.Z.A.C."
(c) 1916 by the contributers
A collection of literary contributions (anecdotes, poetry and doggerel) and illustrations (drawings, photographs and cartoons) produced by the ANZACs themselves. Sometimes poignant; almost always humourous.
"This book of Anzac was produced in the lines at Anzac on Gallipoli in the closing weeks of 1915. Practically every word in it was written and every line drawn beneath the shelter of a waterproof sheet or of a roof of sandbags . . . and a dug-out overlooking Anzac Cove became the office of the only book ever likely to be produced in Gallipoli."
- from "The Editor's Note," The Anzac Book Staff, Aegean Sea, December 29, 1915
