Excerpt from The Tale of a Trooper
A winter storm raged across the ridges and tore in Violent gusts down the gullies, carryirlg great squalls of fleecy snow. The wind swept the flakes horizontally through the gap where the station track ran an irregular course through the bush; and, though but a short hour had passed since the ominous mass of black cloud had swept over the early morning sky, the ground was already thickly powdered.
A ramshackle hut stood beside the track where it entered the bush, and in a rough leanz-to, where fire wood, tools and saddlery were piled more or less in discriminately, two unkempt station ponies, saddled and bridled, stood in somnolent attitudes. Huddled hens sheltered from the searching blasts, which swept in eddies of snow, rufiling the feathers of the hens and driving the tails of the horses between their legs.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows a young New Zealand trooper in the early days of World War I as he embarks on a journey from home and across oceans to a war that promised to end before he ever saw battle. Rural life is left behind for the unfamiliar yet comfortable routine of military training. As his ship sails across the vast Australian Bight and up to Colombo, the anticipation of engaging in active service lingers. Along the way, the reality of the Great War sinks inâ"early burials at sea and encounters with German POWs drive home the significance of the conflict. The author deftly uses the setting to explore themes of camaraderie, resilience, and the futility of war through the eyes of the young trooper, leaving readers with a profound, deeply personal account of the ANZAC experience.
