Soldiers' Tales

A collection of stories that are entertaining, emotional and humorous, Soldiers’ Tales is a wonderful tribute to the Aussie digger. Australian soldiers share their stories and anecdotes from World War One to the modern-day conflict, the stories that are 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’ Tales vividly provides 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.

The stories within Soldiers’ Tales will warm the heart, bring a smile to the face or a tear to the eye. These tales will appeal to all ages, offering younger readers a fascinating insight into the mind of the soldier at war. The book is stylishly presented and designed for easy reading, the perfect gift book for all ages.
