Plodding through mud up to the knees for days on end with
a 25lb pack plus weapons and ammunition made me curse the
war in no uncertain terms. Then one day I heard a soldier
behind me praying, `Dear God, help me pick up me feet,
I'll put the bastards down.'" Captain Glenn Davidson, New
Guinea, WWII A collection of stories that are
entertaining, emotional and humorous, Soldiers Tale is a
wonderful tribute to the Aussie Digger. From World War
One to the modern day conflict, Australian soldiers share
their stories and anecdotes usually saved for Anzac Day
or a catch-up with mates over a cup of tea or an icy cold
beer. In their own words they provide a fascinating
glimpse of the many funny and touching moments that our
Diggers often hold tight to their chest. The collection
of stories featured in Soldiers Tale vividly provide a
taste of what a soldier's life is like in both war and
peace. From the pyramids of Egypt where a pint-sized
Captain used lateral thinking to gain respect, Anzac day
on the porch with Banjo Patterson or a scorpion in the
pants in Vietnam, their stories showcase the laconic
sense of humour of the Aussie digger - that wonderful
ability to get the job done with a sense of fun and a
helping hand for a mate. Soldiers Tale is a collection of
yarns to warm the heart and bring a smile to your face or
a tear to the eye. A wonderful collection of stories that
will delight readers of all ages and linger on well after
the book has been put aside. With its stylish design and
easy reading a Soldiers Tale will sure to be the perfect
gift book for all ages.
