Halder Posted 23 August , 2007 Share Posted 23 August , 2007 Hurley's diaries have been digitised by the Australian Library. Very interesting stuff. The index is here http://www.nla.gov.au/cdview/nla.ms-ms883-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Mackenzie Posted 23 August , 2007 Share Posted 23 August , 2007 Thanks Halder - an interesting link. I particularly like the account of him having to nip over to England to ensure he got paid by Shackleton! Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halder Posted 23 August , 2007 Author Share Posted 23 August , 2007 I must admit when I first clicked on the link I thought it was merely the index, but the diary has indeed been scanned. Hurley's account features regularly in Peter Barton's book. Not only was he a first-rate photographer, but he was also an astute battlefield observer.

mikeparr Posted 27 September , 2007 Share Posted 27 September , 2007 This is my first post so don't bite my head off please!!!! Saw an excellent exhibition of Frank Hurley's pictures and life story in the museum at Zonnebeke this August, amazing and not a little scary as well.

Simon_Fielding Posted 8 September , 2010 Share Posted 8 September , 2010 Hi Halder What Peter Barton book are you referring to? Also - I remember a website listing the fate of Shacklton's men in the War - does anyone have a link? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw Posted 8 September , 2010 Share Posted 8 September , 2010 Thanks for the link, Halder. Does anyone know if Hurley records visiting Fromelles at any time? Does he comment on Pheasant Wood? If so at what page/date in his diary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
