Summary
'Children of the Anzacs' evokes poignant memories of times past for all who lived during the turbulent era of WW2 - Sydney was a microcosm of the Australian nation and of the Western World. Children of WW1 servicemen from the UK, USA, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand lived unsophisticated lives in an era of Victorian morality and severe economic hardship and then went to war themselves in 1939 to fight Hitler and later the Japanese. The book covers all aspects of their daily lives, their attitudes and relationships; it will be compulsive reading for all history students who study the various home fronts during WW2.
