"...until you are safe"

Autor Tony Squire
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iul 2023
In 1914, as Europe teetered on the edge of war, Australia seemed a world away. Life in the Queensland town of Kilcoy carried on; the country folk oblivious to the catastrophe about to engulf their world, changing their lives forever. Amidst this tranquil backdrop, three young men from the Taylor family, along with many from the town and the surrounding area, eagerly answer the call, rushing to enlist in the newly formed Australian Imperial Force, joining the ranks of the 9th Battalion and 2nd Light Horse Regiment. From this pivotal moment, their lives are intertwined with their nation's destiny. This enthralling work of historical fiction taking the reader on a journey, unveiling the hidden chapters of their remarkable story, delving in to their experiences, from training, to the ancient lands of Egypt and Lemnos, and on to the unforgiving shores of Gallipoli. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the author brings this infamous battlefield to life, taking the reader in to the trenches, while paying homage to the true history of the campaign and the ordinary heroes who fought and fell there, bringing poignant insights into the untold sacrifices, unbreakable mateship, and irrepressible humour that buoyed the spirits of these courageous soldiers, etching their deeds into the annals of history.

Notă biografică

Tony Squire, originally from England, is now an Australian citizen and resides there with his wife Sheila. Following in his father's footsteps, he pursued a career as a professional soldier and dedicated a total of 21 years to his service. Throughout his life, he has held a deep passion for history, particularly military history, and from a young age, he aspired to craft a historical novel that would intertwine his characters with real life historical events. This dream has come to fruition multiple times through his books aimed at younger readers, featuring his beloved character Buckley the Yowie. However, in his latest endeavour, a novel intended for adult readers, Tony has embarked on his long awaited journey of chronicling the remarkable tales of the ANZACs during the tumultuous period of the Great War.
