5.0 out of 5 stars incredible, April 8 2002
By jenny Petto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: W. H. Downing's Digger Dialects (Paperback)
I read an abstract of this one day in a Doctors waiting room 2-3 years ago and have been waiting for the oportunity to find the full book. Written in the trenches, this is the most graphic depiction anyone could imagine about the harshness of war (Galipolli).
An engrossing read I only put down because I came to the end, unfortunately.
