About this book
Glorious Deeds of Australasians in the Great War is by E. C. Buley. The text invites the reader to compare McKenzie of Townsville, Queensland, with McKenzie of Dunedin, New Zealand, saying the difference is apparent. The text says that the factories of the young nations have already been converted into arsenals under the control of Munitions Boards, and hosts of volunteers are working long hours to supply the men of Australasia with every requisite for victory.
The text says that the year of the outbreak of war saw producing industries hampered by a disastrous drought, so that the harvest failed and less than twenty per cent of the anticipated wheat supply was garnered, while the wheat crop of 1915-16 nearly doubled the previous record. The text says that at Quinn's Post, named after a gallant Major from Queensland who fell fighting bravely at the spot, the lines were only twenty yards apart.
