'In this gripping account, George Deane Mitchell relives the horror and the humour of an Australian soldier on the Western Front in World War I.  Backs To The Wall was originally published in 1937.  This re-issue - with commentary by Robert Macklin, author of Jacka VC - will allow a new generation of readers to fall under the spell of this forgotten Australian classic.
