description: As 1914 drew to a close, little did anyone that four years of warfare lay ahead. Young men, bronzes and debonair, had little idea of the grim reality of war as they marched off to do their patriotic duty for King and Country. Among these young men were three Charles, Fred and James Carthew. This is their story, told through the letters they wrote from Gallipoli, North Africa, Palestine and the Western Front to their mother and sisters back him in Victoria, Australia. Vivid and compelling, their letters tell the true story of war - not the dusty facts and figures of the history books, but the very real emotions of fear and hope, love and longing, life and death.
