From the supplier: Yarns told by members of the Australian Imperial Forces, also known as "diggers" after 1917, expressed their cumulative image as misogynistic, volunteer, colonial, and a folk body. The yarns tend to focus on General Birdwood, contempt for British forces, especially officers, self-control under fire, colorful Australian speech, and anti-authoritarianism. These yarns distinguish Australians from British, French and Americans.
