'The overwhelming statistics of the First World War can often make the true calamity of the conflict, and its effect on the individuals who lived it, difficult to comprehend. This book personalises the war through the experiences of the Fryer family from Springsure in Central Queensland. The rich archive held at the Fryer Library allows for an unusually intimate perspective of an ordinary family caught in a global catastrophe.'
