30) Anzac to Amiens by C. E. W. Bean Charles Bean was an Australian war correspondent during WWI. After the Armistice, he returned home and would write a 12 volume account of Australia’s involvement. This however, is a condensed version of that 12 volume account as Bean believed that the story of what those brave men went through in a foreign land was to be made known to all Australians. What I loved about the book, is that it took me back to my trip to Europe several years ago where I actually visited the battlefields themselves where I had to imagine in my head what it must have been like over 100 years ago. Given the current situation, it served to remind me too that there were many who made greater sacrifices for me.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched they must be felt with the heart
