The 5th Australian Division began to form in February 1916 in Egypt with 8th, 14th and 15th Brigades. The 8th had been raised in Australia in June 1915 and arrived in Egypt in December, the 14th and 15th Brigades were made up half from personnel of the 1st and 2nd Brigades of the 1st Division (recently back from Gallipoli) and half from reinforcements already in Egypt. The four battalions of the 8th Brigade had already been numbered (in Australia) 29th-32nd, the eight battalions of the newly created 14th and 15th Brigades were numbered 53rd-60th. The divisional commander was the Hon J.W McCay, who arrived in March from Australia where he had been Inspector General. The division arrived in France at the end of June 1916 and within three weeks, on 19th July, it was in action in the attack on Fromelles, the same area that saw the disastrous assault on Aubers Ridge some fourteen months earlier. This attack was equally disastrous with 5,533 casualties, the highest casualty figure incurred in a day by any division other than that of 34th Division on 1st July 1916. Other major actions fought by the 5th Australian Division included Bullecourt, Polygon Wood, first and second battles of Passchendaele, Amiens, Avre, Villers Bretonneux, occupation of Peronne, and St Quentin Canal (capture of the Bellicourt Tunnel Defences). Seven VCs were won and from figures quoted from time to time, the final casualty figure must have numbered more than 25,000 (remembering the divison's first action was nearly two years after the war had been in progress.This is a very good history with much detailed descriptive writing - some of it very vivid: The fields became mere areas of dishevelled rubbish, the shell-holes filled with putrid water in which rotted the corpses of men and animals.

The impact of nutrition on the health and welfare of the horse, whether performing at the highest athletic level or for leisure use, cannot be underestimated. To maintain good health and optimum performance the horse requires much more than just the correct levels of nutrients. In addition to avoiding an excess or a deficiency of nutrients the 'packaging' and form in which the horse ingests these nutrients plays an important role both for the horse’s body and mind. Incorrect nutrition contributes to occurrence of colic, obesity, metabolic syndrome, laminitis, rhabdomyolisis and stereotypic, abnormal or unwanted behaviours. This book explores the impact of nutrition on health and welfare in horses. The chapters provide an up to date review and evaluation of our current understanding in the areas below.-Nutritional requirements and physiology-Nutrition, behaviour and welfare-Promoting health and preventing disease-Gastrointestinal health -Metabolic disease-Functional nutritional ingredients-Nutrition and performanceThis book is the 5th volume in a series conceived through the European Workshop of Equine Nutrition (EWEN) which falls under the umbrella of the Horse Commission of the European Association of Animal Production (EAAP). The aim is to facilitate discussion between equine nutrition scientists and to create a bridge between scientists, practitioners and the horse industry. The ultimate aim is to support good equine health and welfare practice through the best nutrition science possible. As such this book is a valuable compilation of knowledge for research scientists, veterinarians, nutritionists, academics and students.
