When the Anzacs crept away, defeated, eight months later, 7594 Australians had been killed and more than 19,000 had been wounded. About one-fifth of the men engaged in this tragic and mismanaged encounter were under the age of twenty-one, boys who were fired with loyalty for a nation itself not yet 15 years old. This is the story of two of those boys." -- from the front fold over blurb. Ownership inscription dated 1987 at the bottom of the half title page Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
