Sobre este artículo
Mile End: Wakefield Press, 2018. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Mile End, Wakefield Press, 2018. Large quarto, [viii], 392 pages, with hundreds of illustrations (many from photographs, some in colour). Papered boards; a fine copy with the fine dustwrapper. 'Drawing on the work of the many who have written on the subject previously, "Valour and Violets" provides a wholly South Australian perspective on the impact of the Great War on individuals, on families and on our state's coastal, regional, and outback communities. "Valour and Violets" brings together for the first time the stories of the campaigns and battles in which South Australians served, set against the backdrop of the South Australian home front. Here are the stories of Frederick Prentice, the first of three Indigenous South Australians to be awarded the Military Medal; Thomas Baker, the gunner who became an ace pilot; and Sister Margaret Graham, awarded the Royal Red Cross for her contribution to army nursing. Here too are lesser known stories, such as that of Alexandrina Seager, who formed the Cheer-Up Society back home and worked every single day during the war, despite losing her youngest son at Gallipoli. Or Clara Weaver of Rosewater, who not only lost five sons to the war but also her husband, George, who died at home before the war ended' (publisher's blurb).
