Hi Sarah and GEM people
I am working on the Gallipoli Centenary Education Project and your posting was very relevant to this. Please send me or post on this list any good replies you receive. The following are from Australia and New Zealand:
· The Australian poet Geoff Page wrote a wonderful WW1 poem – see http://voiceseducation.org/content/geoff-page-christ-gallipoli and you can hear him read it at http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/242962.
· See also http://www.dbolitho.co.uk/gallipoli.html
· Also listen to the Pogues’ version of ‘The Band Played Waltzing Matilda’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZqN1glz4JY&feature=kp)
· For an Australian women’s perspective see https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.438305109579603.1073741825.268038919939557&type=1

Subject: query: suggestions of WW1 poetry and prose from a world perspective
Dear GEM members
Can anyone suggest some key writers or writings (poetry, fiction, memoirs .. ) about WW1 which were written from a non British perspective - suitable for inclusion/mention in a KS3 & 4 learning resource ?
Many thanks as always
Sarah
