AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This production by the Maleny Players is designed to commemorate the outbreak of WW1 on the date of the Centenary in August this year.

It tells the story of Australia’s involvement in the War from the point of view of a family whose two sons join up and go to fight. It also tells of their aunt who becomes a nurse and sees action on the Western Front.

'The production contains songs of the time, but does not glorify war, in fact it underlines the tragedy and horror of the battle front and the losses at home. ' (Production summary)
