Description This is a true story, and one that can't help but inspire and move anyone who hears it. It's the story of love, mateship and the bond between husband and wife, friend and friend, father and son. But it is also a time capsule, a former Australia preserved like an old love letter, aching like an old war wound, showing how two generations endured and how enduring they were. We shall never see their like again: those Australians from the first half of the twentieth century, whose spirits were tempered by two World Wars and the Great Depression.
