Winch, Gordon, 1930-
The last Anzac / Gordon Winch ; illustrated by Harriet Bailey. - 1 volume (unpaged) : colour illustrations ; 27 cm.
WAR STORIES. AUSTRALIAN. To James, Alec Campbell was a hero. The old man, the last living Anzac, and all of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought at Gallipoli, were heroes-everyone's heroes. Alec, who died in May 2002 at the age of 103, enlisted in 1915 when he was just 16. He had raised his age to 18 in order to be accepted by the army and agreed to fight at the front, wherever he was needed. Heroic indeed! James was very fortunate to meet Alec Campbell and find out about his experiences. He gives us a special view of this humble and remarkable man, the year before he died. Ages 5+
