  • The Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918 is a 12-volume series covering Australian involvement in the First World War. The series was edited by C.E.W. Bean, who also wrote six of the volumes and was published between 1920 and 1942. The first seven volumes deal with the Australian Imperial Force while other volumes deal with the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force at Rabaul, the Royal Australian Navy, the Australian Flying Corps and the home front; the final volume is a photographic record. Unlike other official histories which have been aimed at military staff, Bean intended the Australian history to be accessible to a non-military audience. The relatively small size of the Australian forces, enabled the history to be presented in great detail, giving accounts of individual actions that would not have been possible when covering a larger force. Bean devoted over 100 pages to the Battle of Fromelles, a relatively small action intended as a diversion during the Battle of the Somme, which lasted one night and involved the 5th Australian Division. Fromelles was also the first time that the First Australian Imperial Force (AIF) saw action on the Western Front and was very costly for the Australians, with 5,533 men killed, wounded or captured.

  • L'Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918 est une série de 12 volumes qui traite de la participation de l'Australie à la Première Guerre mondiale. La série a été éditée par C. E. W.

Contrairement à d'autres histoires officielles qui ont été destinées au personnel militaire, Bean a voulu que l'histoire australienne soit accessible à un public non militaire. La taille relativement réduite des forces australiennes a permis de présenter l'histoire de manière très détaillée, en donnant des comptes rendus d'actions individuelles qui n'auraient pas été possibles en couvrant une force plus importante. Bean a consacré plus de 100 pages à la bataille de Fromelles, une action relativement modeste destinée à faire diversion pendant la bataille de la Somme, qui a duré une nuit et a impliqué la 5e division australienne. Fromelles était également la première fois où la Première Force impériale australienne (AIF) était en action sur le front de l'Ouest et dont les Australiens on payé un lourd tribut, avec 5 533 hommes tués, blessés ou capturés.
