JQ, The Other Anzacs sounds fascinating - they are a forgotten group. Glad someone has told their story.
Hi JQ
WWI romance is something I've always loved. All the McDonald brides descended from my grandmother wear a brooch at their wedding - it was her first engagement ring, but her fiance never came home from Anzac Cove. So when she eventually married, she had it made into a brooch. I always think of him and her on Anzac Day. Hope the editing is going well.
