Hugh (Reginald Hugh) 1918 18009093 "Over There" with the Australians E-text prepared by Al Haines "Over There" with the Australians by Captain R. Hugh Knyvett is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book provides a personal perspective on the experiences of Australian soldiers during World War I, particularly focusing on those who served as scouts. It explores themes of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the stark contrasts between war and life back home, presenting a vivid portrayal of the realities faced by soldiers in the trenches and on the battlefield. At the start of the narrative, Knyvett introduces us to the emotional landscape of Australian soldiers during Christmas amidst the muddy and brutal conditions of Flanders. Through the poem "Bill-Jim's Christmas," we learn about the longing for home and the bittersweet moments of reflection and camaraderie shared among the troops. As he sets the stage, Knyvett relates his own experiences and the stories of fellow soldiers, notably Ray Wilson and Dan Macarthy, emphasizing the bonds formed in the face of shared danger and hardship. The opening portion lays the groundwork for Knyvett's detailed recounting of the call to arms and the various facets of military life, from enlistment to the trials of combat, as well as the deep connections that define the Australian soldier's spirit.
