Military

War, conflict, sacrifice, heroism ... and what happened when it was all over.The Honeysett families of the NSW Central West and beyond became part of Australian history when twelve of their sons volunteered for service with the Australian Imperial Force.From the original Gallipoli landing, to the deserts of Palestine and the Western Front, their stories span the duration of Australia's war.Those who returned to the trials of civilian life carried the silent burden of what they had seen and done.Shattered Branches offers a frank account of their time away, and for those who returned, their lives back home in twentieth century Australia.
