Peter F. Barton

    1. január 1935 – 1. január 2014

    Peter Barton je historik, archeológ a filmár, ktorého práca sa zameriava na odhaľovanie a interpretáciu zabudnutých vizuálnych materiálov z prvej svetovej vojny. Po ôsmich rokoch bádaní v archíve panorám Imperial War Museum, ktoré sú považované za kľúč k plnému pochopeniu konfliktu, sa Barton stal uznávaným odborníkom. Jeho hĺbkové výskumy a vykopávky na západnom fronte prispievajú k zachovaniu a sprístupneniu cenných historických poznatkov. Bartonove aktivity zahŕňajú nielen písanie, ale aj tvorbu oceňovaných dokumentárnych filmov a vedenie projektov na záchranu a publikovanie battlefieldových panorám.

      A diversionary tactic from the Somme, the Battle of Fromelles was the worst-ever military disaster in Australian history, and is recognised as one of the bloodiest and most useless battles of the First World War. With the recent discovery of a mass grave and the disinterment of many diggers, it has now entered national consciousness in the same way as Gallipoli. Peter Barton's access to forgotten archives in Germany reveal that the Australian frontline troops gave away critical Allied secrets to the Germans. which not only led directly to the Fromelles massacre - but contributed to the failure of the Somme offensive as a whole.
