When the news of the Anzac landing at Galipoli in 1915 came through to Sydney with the huge A.I.F. casualty list which soon followed, Ben Champion's Father reluctantly gave his permission for 18 year old Ben to enlist in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). He joined the 7th Reinforcements of the 1st Battalion AIF and embarked for Gallipoli.Ben began his letters and diaries as soon as he enlisted, writing of so many of his mates throughout the years 1915 - 1920 as he served at Gallipoli and in France, and rose through the ranks to become a Lieutenant. He had photos of many who did not return.He loved history and appreciated what he saw around him. Ben writes of the seasons, flowers, crops and trees. He writes of the songs they were singing and the books he was reading in the trenches. He wrote too of the changing perceptions he had of the enemy, how homesick he was, of his family and friends back home and how desperate he was for their letters. On 1 April 1918, in France, Ben was hit in the leg by an exploding shell and his leg was amputated. Ben returned to Australian in August 1918. Ben studied dentistry and eventually was one of the earliest members of the International College of Dentists.

Penny includes over 250 photographs, some never before published, and records over 200 officers and soldiers in Ben's story.

Stolen Moments of our Young Lives, by Bernadette Flannery, is a poignant coming of age story - richly documented and full of small, heartfelt details. It is the story of Private Frank Flannery as he serves his country in the Great War.It weaves together details from newspaper clippings, personal letters, war and service records and diary entries, to bring to life the oftentimes brutal reality of life on the front lines in an easy to read narrative.Personal accounts of his day-to-day experiences capture the innocence of youth pre-war, the excitement of signing up to serve, the grit of training, the heartbreak of watching friends fall, of being wounded and missing family. The story not only follows Frank's journey 'to hell and back', his loss of innocence and the horrors he brought home but also shows the joy of mateship and pride in the people around him.More than that, the narrative continues after his return home and honours those who never had the privilege of making that return journey.It is the story of one of our ANZACs.
