This is a heartfelt insight into the lives of the men of the 2/20 Battalion AIF during their initial training in Australia, through their preparation in Malaya and their fierce and bloody battles with the Japanese. It is pieced together from eloquent and descriptive letters between family members and intertwined with the Battalion's War Diary, Routine Orders and newspaper reports. Interviews with survivors add to the gripping account of the reality of their fighting, capture and incarceration, with humour, 'family' and mateship shining through in the darkest times.
