This is a compilation of letters sent home by Pte William Malcolm, from July 1917 to February 1919. "We learn of a 20-year-old suffering from seasickness for much of the seven week journey to England, of Sling Camp, where young New Zealand soldiers faced hunger and death before even reaching the battle fields of France; of trench warfare and the inevitable consequences of 'going over the top'. We glimpse the on-going pain suffered after the death in France of one of the Malcolm brothers. And we learn of the comradeships of the North Otago men who manage to stay together in spite of the turmoil of war." - from blurb on rear cover. Seller Inventory # 23621
