1 Songs of the Sudan War : Patriotism, Militarism and Australian National Identity Mark Pinner , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society , June vol. 102 no. 1 2016; (p. 7-31)

'A central theme in 20th and 21st century Australian identity is the notion of the warrior soldier: irreverent, disrespectful of authority, with an air of the larrikin, a master bushman, and a superior soldier whose attributes were endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour, and mateship. These collective qualities, alongside loyalty to Britain and Empire, make up what has become known as the 'Anzac spirit', or 'Anzac myth', so named as a result of the role played by Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli, and on the other battlefields of World War I.'  (Publication abstract)
