Book Description
Secondhand.Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.
In the First World War of 1914ā1918, thousands of boys across Australia and New Zealand lied about their age, forged a parentās signature and left to fight on the other side of the world.
Though some were as young as thirteen, they soon found they could die as well as any man. Like Peter Panās lost boys, they have remained forever young. These are their stories.
This extraordinary book captures the incredible and previously untold stories of forty Anzac boys who fought in the First World War, from Gallipoli to the Armistice. Featuring haunting images of the boys taken at training camps and behind the lines, these tales are both heartbreaking and rousing, full of daring, ingenuity, recklessness, random horror and capricious luck.
A unique perspective on the First World War, The Lost Boys is military history made deeply personal, a powerful homage to youthful bravery and a poignant reminder of the sacrifice of war. (book flap)
