Monash University Publishing, 2018. Softcover. FINE. In 1928 the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia produced 10,000copies of a poster asking for help identifying a patient, believed to be areturned soldier, now in Sydney’s Callan Park Mental Hospital.

And this man, now being taken home by hismother and sister, was no longer the healthy youngster who had sailed toGallipoli over a decade before.The story of what happened to George McQuay, ofwhat he suffered and how he survived, speaks of the dehumanising effects of warwith unique power.pp. 185… Read More
