Description - Australia's Great War: 1915 by Sally Murphy
The silence was eerie. In the darkness I could
just see the mist that swirled around the rowboat. The men in the boat
seemed lost in their own thoughts. No-one spoke, no-one made a sound.
Somewhere ahead a loud report. A shot? Rifle fire, from the beach, which
was only dimly coming into view. This was it.When
Australia throws its support behind Britain in its fight against
Germany, young teacher Stan Moore is one of the first to join up,
swapping the classroom for adventure in Europe. But the 11th Battalion
is sent with the newly formed Anzac Corp to Gallipoli where Stan is
confronted by the hard lessons of war. Though conditions are dismal and death is everywhere, so is the humour and bravery that is the true spirit of Anzac.
