War, Sport and the Anzac Tradition

War, Sport and the Anzac Tradition (Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics) by Kevin Blackburn
English | 16 Dec. 2015 | ISBN: 1137487593 | 142 Pages | PDF (True) | 1.57 MB

Commemoration of war is done through sport on Anzac Day to remember Australia's war dead. War, Sport and the Anzac Tradition traces the creation of this sporting tradition at Gallipoli in 1915, and how it has evolved from late Victorian and Edwardian ideas of masculinity extolling prowess on the sports field as fostering prowess on the battlefield.
