Included in this book are a collection of factual and often humorous stories. The Invincible Twenty-Seventh recounts the experiences of a 16-year-old Australian infantryman fighting on the Western Front during World War 1. The tough day to day life in the trenches is broken only by short respites at the rear or advancing into battle when he experiences unimaginable horrors. The Anzac soldier comes alive as the author uses his original diary and maps to describe his movements and experiences during critical battles on the now serene farmland of northern France. Follow the journey of two young backpackers as they travel around Britain in 1980. Restricted by a meagre budget they first experience the eccentricity of working class London. Then, with an old Commer van as their home they resort to wild camping as they meander up the east coast of England and Scotland. Camping on the dark lonely shore of Loch ness and the lush mountains of the lake district will pale into insignificance. What they experience one night in the forests of southern England will send chills down your spine. Other stories include some unexplained paranormal experiences, a grand sailing adventure and a humorous travel story. Travel back in time to a near derelict urban society of the 1930s Great Depression. 'Great Aunt Agnes' and 'Half Days and Patched Pants' enable the reader to live and breathe the childhood adventures of the author and his relationships with his often eccentric relatives. The variety of subjects covered, and the fact that these stories are true will, I'm sure, only enhance the enjoyment and interest of the reader. Enjoy.
