One Minute’s Silence (available in the library) is a wonderful tribute to the soldiers who fought and died at Gallipoli and an important reminder of the humanity of the soldiers of both sides of the conflict.
'In one minute's silence, you can imagine the great crop of crosses the ANZACS left behind...
and the promises given to never forget the boys who would not wake to the hushed footsteps or the whispered farewells. But can you imagine, in one minute's silence, when the Turks rose that morning to discover there only remained...the perfect lack of sound of a war that had ended' (Excerpt from the book.)
Today is Armistice Day, the day that World War One ended in 1918.
