Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
1914. To a wide-eyed eight-year-old, the war was glorious. And it seemed the whole country shared his excitement and credulity. At first they believed it all: the traitor carrier-pigeons, the enemy ice-cream vendor near Broken Hill, the villainy of Australians with German names, the brilliant victories which the newspapers reported. But as the war progressed, the graceful, ordered existence and the glory of war were trampled in Flanders mud.
Brian Lewis vividly evokes the impact on one family with ‘four brothers somewhere in France’, on the community, and on ‘the school at war’ with its proud tally of Old Boys killed. Our War is the lived history of a significant period and a vanished way of life.
