Elements of this were very good, especially the presentation of many of the soldiers as not really understanding what they'd gotten themselves into. There was very little glorification of war, and gave a balanced view of not both sides. (ie it didn't fall into the trap of portraying 'us' as the goodies and 'them' as the baddies).
I did at first find out interesting that John Monash want mentioned, until the last episode when Keith Murdoch rides in (figuratively) on a white horse to save the day. Given his strong opposition to Monash it made more sense - this seemed very much a Murdoch spondired piece. The Murdoch letter was significant, but it was not the sole reason this campaign ended.
