About this book
Letters from France is credited to C. E. W. Bean, and its title page describes him as War Correspondent for the Commonwealth of Australia. The preface says the letters were written at the time and within close range of the events they describe. The book is dedicated to those other Australians who fell in the Sharpest Action their Force has known, on July 19, 1916, before Fromelles.
One letter says there were women digging in the fields everywhere, or trudging back along the roads under great bundles of firewood. The text says that the moment you reach France the big hand of General Headquarters takes hold of you. A letter says the Australians went at it in the night across a wide strip of waste hill-top.
