From Ascot to Tobruk And Back: A True Story of Courage Humor and Mateship
Mark Thomas O'Neill
A true story of growing up in the depression of the 1930’s in Australia. Two very different characters become great friends and live through World War 2. One as a front line soldier in North Africa and later a POW who confronts Rommel’s tanks and sets the Germans on the run. The other as a civilian worker in Brisbane. Working at the shipyard and the American air base he sees the war machine up close and has thrills and spills as Brisbane fill up with tens of thousands of US serviceman. Wild brawls, whiskey, women and cultural clashes. Keith becomes a man as his home town gets out of control. Lots of original photos and previously unpublished interviews with veterans. This true story is harrowing but at times hilarious bringing out the true values of Australian mateship
