No Ordinary Determination by Jeff Hatwell
Hi Guys,
This just restocked – ‘No Ordinary Determination‘ by Jeff Hatwell.
An epic tale of two ordinary individuals thrown into the extraordinary and surreal world of the Gallipoli campaign as soldiers of the First AIF in WWI. Percy Black and Harry Murray were plain hard-working Australians whose paths crossed in Western Australia when they enlisted in support of country and empire. The powerful narrative paints a complex and thorough picture of the heroism, loyalty, inventiveness, mateship, stoicism and strength of the many individuals, on all sides, caught up in the horror of the ‘war to end all wars’.
Both became highly decorated soldiers with Percy Black being KIA on the Western Front while Harry Murray became Australia’s most decorated soldier during World War 1 and went from Private to Lieutenant-Colonel in 4 years and was awarded the Victoria Cross.
A great read about two extraordinary Australian soldiers. I highly recommend this book!
Good Reading,
Glenn and the Regimental Books Team
