This is not a combat story, but a recounting of the activities of my father, a transport driver, and his friends in the Australian Army during World War 2. It's the incidents and events they talked about over a drink when they got together to remember the old days. Most are funny, in many ways, and some are frightening. They convey what they did to stay sane, and also why they were there. Included is the poetry by the author, nearly all of which was written whilst on active service. 24,900 words

A Thank You Note Story
This is my thank you note for those men who served in WWI. I had two great-uncles who were in France, and one was gassed, but survived.

What might have happened then? One squad tests out an idea. Read what might have happened.
