More than 20,000 ANZACs who died in the Great War are still listed as missing - their names carved into memorials, but their stories untold.
In The Nameless Names, Scott Bennett brings these lost soldiers back into view, tracing the lives and fates of three Australian families — the Reids, the Pflaums, and the Allens — whose sons vanished at Gallipoli, Fromelles, and Ypres. Through powerful storytelling and original research, this book reveals not only how and why these men disappeared but also the lifelong impact on those left behind.
“This admirable book, superbly researched and insightfully written...” — Ross McMullin
“Bennett’s book reminds us that these men may still be missing, but they are not forgotten.” — Frances Whiting
