Synopsis

Information

Throughout her moving and epic tale set during the Second World War, first-time author, Irene Drummond, enthrals the reader with the adventures of the Land Army Girls. Sent to outback Queensland, the Land Army volunteered to help out landowners whose children and workers were fighting overseas. This very moving and entertaining book spans several years of war and encompasses almost every situation that war throws at mankind: wartime tragedies, romances, prisoner of war camps, conscientious objectors, fighting in the trenches, war-based hospitals and nurses, the experiences of fighting men and women in Malaya and Singapore and the painful aftermath of war. The experiences of the Land Army Girls and all with whom they come in contact are heart-warming.
