In
the First World War of 1914-1918, thousands of boys across Australia
and New Zealand lied about their age, forged a parent's 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 Pan's 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.
