As a historical account, the book serves to document the harsh realities of war through a mix of sketches and poignant narratives, aiming to capture the gravity and suffering endured by the men of the Australian Imperial Force (A.I.F.) during the dark winters of 1916 and 1917.  In this evocative work, Dyson presents a vivid portrayal of life in the trenches, emphasizing not only the physical challenges but also the emotional toll of warfare. Through his artistry and reflections, he conveys the camaraderie between soldiers and the absurdities of their situation, illustrating moments of both grim reality and dark humor. Each chapter consists of a combination of drawings and descriptive passages that encapsulate the soldiers' daily struggles, ranging from mundane tasks like gathering food to profound moments of despair and loss. The dedication to the soldiers highlights Dyson's intent to honor their sacrifices, making "Australia at War" a significant testament to the Australian experience in the Great War.
