	Australian 5th Division (World War I) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Australian 5th Division was formed in February 1916, during the First World War as part of the expansion of the Australian Imperial Force infantry brigades.
		The 5th Division happened to be the unit facing the northern flank of the salient.
		The 5th Division was relieved by the 2nd Division and, when on October 5 the Australian Corps handed over its line to the U.S. II Corps, the division was withdrawn to the coast for a rest that would last until the end of the war.

	HyperWar: A Brief History of the U.S. Army in World War II
		World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind.
		While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military scholars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and military implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose.
		Waging war with the implacable ruthlessness of totalitarian regimes, both sides committed wholesale atrocities--mistreatment of prisoners of war, enslavement of civilian populations, and, in the case of the Jews, outright genocide.

	Trenches on the Web - Special: ANZAC Memories
		Soldiers came from the full range of social, religious and economic backgrounds represented in the wider Australian population, but the original intention that half the force be drawn from men with militia training and half without does not appear to have been realised even in the early contingents.
		It was divided, and for the rest of the war the Australians would fight in two widely separated theatres: France and the Middle East.
		Beginning with the diversionary attack at Fromelles by the 5th Division in which they suffered 5,533 casualties in a single twenty-four hour period, the Australians were fed in to successive attacks in which enormous casualties were sustained for minimal gains in ground.

	A Brief History of the U.S. Army in World War II
		Waging war with the implacable ruthlessness of totalitarian regimes, both sides committed wholesale atrocities—mistreatment of prisoners of war, enslavement of civilian populations, and, in the case of the Jews, outright genocide.

		The historical literature on Pearl Harbor and the first six months of the war in the Pacific is voluminous—so vast that readers must be especially careful in their selections.

		The war also led to important developments in literature, technology, music and social equality that have shaped the culture of 21st century America.
		Her raw images and painful depiction of the "wounds of war" led the publishers to withdraw the book during the propaganda efforts that accompanied American entry into the war.
		This is the story of the making of official war films and its value is enhanced by a new 40 page introduction by Dr. Nicolas Hiley, a noted authority on WW I film.
