In the shadow of one of history's most defining military campaigns, Young ANZACs: The Contribution of Victorian Schools to the Gallipoli Campaign 1915 uncovers a remarkable and often overlooked chapter of Australian wartime history — the story of the schoolchildren and educational institutions of Victoria whose lives were irrevocably shaped by the horrors and heroism of Gallipoli. Set against the backdrop of a young nation galvanised by the call to arms in 1915, this work chronicles the profound ways in which Victorian schools participated in, responded to, and commemorated the ANZAC legend at its very genesis, presenting a vivid portrait of a society mobilised from the classroom to the trenches. Rich in historical detail and deeply humane in its perspective, this publication illustrates the critical role that education and community played in sustaining the war effort on the home front, arguing that the ANZAC spirit was forged not only on the shores of Gallipoli but in the hearts of Australian youth. Published by the Ministry of Education, Victoria, it stands as both a scholarly record and a moving tribute to a generation defined by sacrifice — leaving the reader to wonder what it truly cost a nation to send its young men to war.
