When the world erupted into war in 1914, the Hunter Region of New South Wales sent its sons and daughters to answer the call — and this meticulously researched volume chronicles their extraordinary stories of sacrifice, courage, and endurance. Greg and Sylvia Ray present a rich local history of the Great War, drawing on personal records, photographs, and community archives to reconstruct the human cost of a global conflict through the lens of a single, remarkable Australian region. The work stands as a testament to the power of local history in illuminating the broader tragedy of World War One, grounding the vast machinery of war in the faces and names of individual men and women from towns along the Hunter Valley. The Rays write with both scholarly rigour and genuine compassion, ensuring that the voices of those who served — and those who waited at home — are never lost to time. For anyone with a connection to the Hunter region, or a passion for Australian military history, this is an indispensable and deeply moving record.
