- Book Synopsis
- Orphans Bert and Frank are tragically torn apart when they are sent away to the British colonies. But when the War calls on soldiers to storm Gallipoli, will the battlefield also serve as a reunion for the two brothers? A stunning WW1 tale inspired by a true story.When Bert and Frank Barker are taken from the Children's Home in London, the priests promise them a better life in Australia. But what really awaits is hard work, separation, and the realisation that no one cares if they live or die.Then war breaks out, and fate brings the brothers together again - in a place more horrific than either of them could ever imagine.Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
