Author(s) Russell Stern AbstractBook Review: Published in 2014 this book uncovers the scourge that venereal disease caused in the ranks of Australian soldiers who had volunteered for service in World War 1. Almost 60,000 soldiers in the Australian army were treated by army doctors in Egypt, Europe and Australia for venereal diseases, a number similar to the number of diggers who were killed during the war. Many of the 60,000 were treated more than once.
