What credible author would have dreamt up the improbability of a merchant mariner who wins decorations for bravery as a horseman in the army, then returns to sea to win awards for civilian bravery, before quitting it all to become a mere clergyman, then winning more medals for bravery as an Anzac chaplain in another war? But, having invented such a hero, what writer would dare have them fail so disastrously as a farmer, then live the rest of their life in the shadows? Truly, Dexter’s life was stranger than fiction.\u003cbr\u003eWalter Dexter, DSO, MC, DCM, remains the most distinguished and highly decorated Australian military chaplain of all time. Of all the chaplains of the AIF, he gave the longest frontline service, from the earliest appointments in 1914 until demobilisation in 1920. His work for the spiritual, material and emotional welfare of the soldiers was unmatched and in return he was held in the highest regard by the soldiers.\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the extraordinary career of Dexter, taking in his colourful life and unparalleled achievements. His story should stand as a cornerstone in Australia’s Anzac memory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47238401753324,"sku":"9781923352285","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5b4a22a3b59a8b740e948aa9797892fe.jpg?v=1769046131"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/daniel-reynaud.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
