1869–1933
Best known for a hugely popular First World War chronicle, this Australian journalist turned real events into lively, accessible books for a wide readership. His career also took him from Victoria to London, where he wrote on politics, history, and national life.

by E. C. (Ernest Charles) Buley
Born in Ballarat West, Victoria, on July 4, 1869, he grew up in a large family and was educated at Grenville College. He became a journalist and author, and later built a varied writing career that ranged across reporting, popular history, and books about Australia.
He is especially remembered for Glorious Deeds of Australasians in the Great War, a wartime book that was popular enough to go through multiple early reprints. Reference sources also describe him as an Australian journalist and author whose work included fiction, geography, and historical writing.
Later in life he worked in London as a journalist and publicist. He died in 1933. No suitable verified portrait image could be confirmed from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
