AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Adapted by Alan Burke from Sumner Locke Elliott's play and possibly influenced by the 1965 ABC television version that Burke directed, Rusty Bugles is set in an ordinance camp in the Northern Territory in 1944. The men are neither in nor out of the war. A cross-section of Australian soldiers experience boredom, the news of infidelities at home, endless hope for leave, all coloured by unquenchable humour and optimism.
