What readers are saying.... “The individual
style of each story teller lends itself to easy
reading , as a matter of fact, it was hard to
put down. One can relate to the stories told,
especially to those who have served in the
defence force past and present.. I enjoyed its
content immensley!”Damien immensley!” Finlayson
Soldiers’ Tales 2 is a unique collection of personal
accounts told by soldiers or relatives who have lived
with their stories. Spanning the period from World
War I through to the conflicts of the modern era, these
stories are a mixture of the humorous and the intensely
emotional. This collection is unmistakably Australian and
is a combination of larrikin yarns and other more serious
stories that tell of tragedy and often unspoken pain.
Soldiers’ Tales 2 paints a vivid picture of the soldier’s
life, both in war and peace. Including tales such as the
moment of victory in battle, celebrated with the raising
of a battered slouch hat in lieu of a flag, the poignancy
August / September 2012
of Anzac Day in the devastated war cemetery of battlescarred
Baghdad, and the stark letters from diggers in
Timor coping with the aftermath of a national tragedy,
these stories showcase both the sad and the uplifting,
while also capturing the often laconic humour of the
Aussie digger.
The stories within Soldiers’ Tales 2 will warm the heart,
bring a smile to the face or a tear to the eye. These
tales will appeal to all ages, offering younger readers a
fascinating insight into the mind of the soldier at war. The
book is stylishly presented and designed for easy reading,
the perfect gift book for all ages.
