A Family & WWII

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This story is about the wartime experiences that touched the lives of just one Australian family. Firstly, we meet the extended family who played many roles in the wartime experiences of the Clifton family. With the likelihood of war coming to Australia there was a growing feeling of apprehension. The Japanese were moving fast and unrestrained throughout Asia and were close to invasion. Three chapters reveal how this affected the family: Dad's War recreates Jack Clifton's encounters with the war in the tropics as a RAAF electrician, Mum's War introduces Joan Clifton, at home, looking after her two children and grappling with wartime shortages, Kid's War recounts childhood memories of the war and its effect on the children. Finally, the Homecoming, that should have been jubilant but was marred by ill-health, intolerance and discomfort. In the last chapter, Peacetime, some accord was reached.
