This book is an amazing, very interesting, moving, raw and sometimes haunting series of photographs taken by a French photographer Louis Thuillier and his wife Antoinette during WWI of Australian, British, Indian, French, Canadian and US soldiers as well as local townsfolk of Vignacourt. The glass negatives were found in an attic in 3 chests in Feb 2011, by a French journalist and furniture dealer Laurent Mirouze, the author and Peter Burness from the Australian War Memorial. I had seen a documentary on the find, also here is a link to a presentation on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8G6XL3tGkY Of all the military and war books I own - this is THE best one... by a long margin. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

During the First World War, thousands of Aussie diggers and other Allied troops passed through the French town of Vignacourt, two hours north of Paris. Many had their photographs taken by Louis and Antoinette Thuillier as souvenirs while they enjoyed a brief respite from the carnage of the Western Front. For all too many, this was their last moment away from the lines before being sent to their deaths in battles that are now part of the mythology of Australian nationhood - Pozieres, Bullecourt, the Somme. The weariness and horror of battle is reflected in their eyes, but the photos also capture a sense of camaraderie, high spirits and even a soupcon of romance. The Lost Diggers is the riveting detective story of the hunt across northern France for a rumoured treasure trove of antique glass photographic plates that led investigative journalist Ross Coulthart to an ancient metal chest in a dusty attic in a small farmhouse.
