The long-awaited Henty World War I history book, compiled by members of Henty and District Historical Society, has been completed.
The book, still to be printed, is in the process of being proof read, having had three and a half years of research. It is now in the hands of an independent historian proof-reading and fact checking.
The book encompasses much of the history of this war, the soldiers with a connection to Henty, their experiences and the hard-won battles they fought, both in the infantry battalions and in the Light Horse regiments. Some of our soldiers were there at the start of the Gallipoli campaign, with one being one of the last to leave Anzac Cove and the Western Front. Included are the battles in the deserts of Egypt and Beersheba.
The book has already been described as being unique in that it encompasses much of what was being done back home in Henty during those years of war.
For returning soldiers, much of their lives back in Australia has been researched and selected information has been placed in the book. The society is hoping for a November 2019 release.
