Les Darcy was, perhaps, the best boxing prodigy that Australia ever produced. He was born into a poor family, and through his boxing prowess he dragged himself and his family out of poverty.

But, Les Darcy himself did not want this vision, all he wanted to do was to do what he had done, so well, before the war – box, "... Torn between the duty he felt he owed his family, and the duty many felt he owed his country, Les made his choice ... and faced the consequences." -- from the rear panel blurb.
