Bunbury's War: Charlie Snell, the Bunbury Community and the Great War by Margaret Jane Warburton

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Inscribed by author. The soft touch laminate finish on the back cover has some minor marks - not noticeable because of the matte finish. Interior and binding are still excellent.

This is the story of Charlie Snell and his friends from the district of Bunbury in Western Australia who went to the Great War.

In 1960, a trunk of wartime letters and photographs is revealed to a 12-year-old girl by a grandfather who has never recovered from the loss of his younger brother. Years later, she follows a quest to answer her family's questions about him. Where was Charlie Snell, and what was he doing when he met his end?

She also seeks to understand the deep sense of community that infused those letters and the flood of condolences the family received after Charlie's death. (back cover)
