To Mother, from Gallipoli and beyond... A Globite suitcase, a diary and a bundled pile of postcards and letters left abandoned in a barn - here was the life of a young man of humble origins who left home at fourteen to become a telegraph boy and later, at seventeen, enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in October 1914. Sapper Hubert Anthony wrote the letters of a young man experiencing the wide world for the first time to his mother in rural New South Wales - and established one of the great political families of Australia. Doug Anthony (1929–2020) Deputy Prime Minister of Australia (1971–1972; 1975–1983) is Sapper Hubert Anthony's son.
