A young Jum moved with his family to Boulder on the Western Australia goldfields at the turn of the century searching for a better life. Hard work and sacrifice were just beginning to bear fruit when Australia and the rest of the world were plunged into a war. Jum and his three brothers signed up to fight on the other side of the world. What transpired though, was an unimagined catastrophe that
would claim the life of three of the boys. Far from home and already wounded, his mother's love would save him from France's killing fields. With the most tumultuous and defining period of Australia's history swirling around him, Jum's luck would see him through and enable him to build a life after the war, a future denied to his three brothers and to many fellow diggers. 210 x 148mm., pp. 143, black & white plates, map, bibliography. Trade paperback, pictorial card covers. Contents, HAND SIGNED by VINCE CUSWORTH (front endpaper) - no other inscriptions; pictorial card covers, no creases. FINE.
