Meanwhile, Monash is appointed Commander of the five Australian Divisions of ANZAC. The Battle of Hamel is shown. The "Jack ups" are featured, as well as Monash's Big Push (on August 8, 1918), all of which leads to the end of the war in the fairly anti-climatic Armistice of November 11, 1918. Afterword, the surviving members of ANZAC travel back home to Australia to deal with their new lives now being out of the army and the war. Written by Larry B. See less
