Hi, Doing a blatant plug for a new book my cousin and I am about to release Our great-Uncle 2nd Lt. Jack Stanley Pryce was one of 3 brothers from Invercargill who enlisted in the first few months of WW1. He served for almost 4 full years and in that time he fought at Chunuk Bair; Instructed at Sling; fought at Passchendaele; and was in the thick of the spring offensive as well as the following final push by the allies. He wrote literally dozens of letters home to his mother & sister - and they all still exist. These have been transcribed and the book is based around them, giving an incredible evolving story of 'Jacks Journey' through WW1. The military context has been added along with details of the post-war period. His war ended in 1918 as did everyone else's but Jack's story amazingly has a significant modern twist that could still yet end in a quite unique outcome... I'm not going to say more but I'm going to point you to this site who have kindly agreed to take us on board! www.fairdinkumbooks.com/...Gibbo
