Thanks:
- to the Australian War Memorial for granting me permission to use their thumbnail images;
- to Jack Harris for providing an eyewitness account of the Easter Battles;
- and to the patient and helpful librarians at Lane Cove Public Library who not only put up with my numerous requests for books from the "stack", but also my three kids whizzing around like whirling dervishes.
