Produktbeschreibung
This is the story of the short life of George Woods, known as Twiggy, a boy who grew up unnaturally fast, ripped from his friends and family in the fervour of patriotic duty. He died alone many, many miles from home. The history books will tell you that the battle of Messines was one of the few successes in World War I, the meticulous planning and ruthless implementation destroyed the German lines, and their morale, allowing Allied troops to make great gains of territory. Success in war, however, is relative. There is always a human cost, and this is typified by the short, and rather insignificant life of Twiggy Woods. This story relives the trials and horrors that this naive, young New Zealander had to experience before being cut down, like so many others.
