A 15-Year Journey Comes to Life
Sydney-born Brendan Bateman is more than just a lawyer with three decades of experience—he’s a passionate historian who’s turned his love for the past into a powerful narrative.
What started as a humble tribute in 2009 has evolved into Drummoyne’s Great War, a compelling three-volume series that brings to life the stories of the ninety-five ANZACs honoured on the Drummoyne War Memorial.
On 8 April 2025, these forgotten heroes are about to step back into the spotlight. Brendan Bateman's Drummoyne's Great War is more than a collection of stories; it's a testament to the lives and sacrifices of the Australian men who shaped history.
Brendan is married with three children, all of whom have avoided both law and history, and shudder whenever he enters a bookshop.
