Item description from seller

*Sales/posting to the USA suspended*. Hard cover dust wrapper, xv307pp, colour and b&w photos. Light wear to edges of dw, mild bump at top of spine; a very good copy. Australians have been making pilgrimages to the battlefields and cemeteries of WWII since the 1940s, from the jungles of New Guinea and South-East Asia to the mountains of Greece and the deserts of North Africa. They travel in search of the stories of lost loved ones, to mourn the dead and to come to grips with the past. Bruce Scates charts the history of pilgrimages to Crete, Kokoda, Sandakan and Hellfire Pass. He explores the emotional resonance that these sites have for those who served and those who remember. Based on surveys, interviews, extensive fieldwork and archival research, this work offers insights into the culture of loss and commemoration and the hunger for meaning so pivotal to the experience of pilgrimage.
