Ordinary Men Extraordinary Service: The World War 1 Experience of the 9th Battalion (Queensland) AIF & Reflections on the Gallipoli Campaign (2011) By Chris Lowndes
 
The World War One experiences of the 9th Battalion (Queensland) AIF & Reflections of the Gallipoli Campaign.

The men of the 9th Battalion, a Queensland based unit of the AIF, were among the very first wave of volunteers to enlist for war service in what was initially thought of as the ‘great adventure’ with their mates following the outbreak of World War I. For these young men reality would soon see their world turn upside down.

Chris follows this Battalion of brave men through their experiences, recounting the lives of individual men within the battalion obtained from diary and service records. This book also take time to present in a well paced manner, the military strategy and planning behind the Gallipoli campaign.
