But do we know the\nname of a single soldier who died that day? What do we really know about the\nmen supposedly most cherished in the national memory of war? \n Peter Stanley\ngoes looking for the Lost Boys of Anzac: the men of the very first wave to land\nat dawn on 25 April 1915 and who died on that day. There were exactly 101 of\nthem. They were the first to volunteer, the first to go into action, and the\nfirst of the 60,000 Australians killed in that conflict. \n Lost Boys of Anzac  traces who these men were, where they\ncame from and why they came to volunteer for the AIF in 1914. It follows what\nhappened to them in uniform and, using sources overlooked for nearly a century,\nuncovers where and how they died, on the ridges and gullies of Gallipoli -\nwhere most of them remain to this day. And we see how the Lost Boys were\nremembered by those who knew and loved them, and how they have since faded from\nmemory.
