What happens when a frail, young “school swot” becomes a British officer in the trenches of the First World War? Well, he has to learn hard and fast if he wants to keep his head free from bullet holes! But don’t judge this book by the cover, he shares his wacky ideas on strategy while […]
Nobody liked Bill Davies. He’d been a pickpocket before the war, and when he got into uniform, his mates reckoned he stole from them too. Then the Japanese captured him along with the others, and even they didn’t like the little rat. Well, as it turned out, Bill wasn’t a little rat. Not any more. […]
The Kokoda Trail —an unforgiving path slicing through the jungle of Papua New Guinea for sixty gruelling miles. Through thick mud, merciless terrain, and Japanese attack after attack, Australian soldiers retreated, picking up much-needed supplies from airdrops by the Royal Australian Air Force. But when one of the aircraft making supply runs is attacked leaving […]
Tommy Hicks was fed up. He had joined the US Marines to see action and gain glory. Only, his unit had been moved from airfield to airfield without seeing hide nor hair of the enemy, not to mention any combat. How was he supposed to make his pop proud and earn his respect if he […]
