This is not your usual war story. In a well written narrative Brenda has portrayed the unusual role of her soldier father in the famed 2/14th Battalion A I F and her Salvation Army Officer mother.

Young William Inglis is born into a poverty stricken Glasgow family in 1906. His disability is of great concern to his mother who fears he will never walk. Ivy is born into a large hardworking farming family in Forbes Australia in 1915. Brenda cleverly entwines the stories of their lives through childhood, emigration, depression, war and victory while painting pictures that will stir memories in many readers. The images skilfully sculptured by Brenda guide the reader through the effort of survival on a rural farm in early 20th Century Australia; through days of depression that will cripple strong men; through days of training in the Salvation Army Eastern Territory College: through the Middle East and Kokoda with the 2/14th Battalion; through rural Australia suffering the deprivation of war and finally the cessation of war, but not an enduring personal peace. Survival extracted a toll Ivy and Jock would continue to pay for many years.

This is a story of sacrifice, commitment, friendship, dedication and affection that is well written and easy to read while telling a unique interesting story.
