Unveiling History’s Silent Heroes
Brendan Bateman’s Drummoyne’s Great War: Drummoyne War Memorial First World War Biographies is more than a collection of stories; it’s a testament to the lives and sacrifices of the Australian men who shaped history.
What began as a humble tribute for a fallen soldier evolved into three volumes, chronicling the lives and sacrifices of all ninety-five men commemorated on the Drummoyne War Memorial from the First World War.
Each man, a chapter in Australia’s involvement, now shares the spotlight in the chronological order of their sacrifice.
Brendan’s mission wasn’t just to tell their stories but to provide context, understanding and a deeper appreciation for the complexities of the First World War. This collection not only captures individual stories but paints a broader picture of Australia’s involvement in the war.
Join Brendan Bateman and discover the heartfelt stories of Drummoyne’s unsung heroes. Meticulously researched, and with over 300 photographs, these three unique volumes truly honour the brave souls whose service and sacrifice helped to shape our world.
PRAISE FOR BRENDAN BATEMAN
‘The narratives captured in these volumes outline the fascinating stories of these individuals from the Drummoyne and Five Dock communities. Their lives paint a picture of our local heritage and our community’s connection to the Great War, from those with deep ties to the area to others with more fleeting connections. These stories are so important … in preserving the memory of those who served.’ Councillor Michael Megna (Mayor), City of Canada Bay Council.
