SUMMARY:Book Launch - Melbourne - The Digger's Diary A soldier's diary. A decades-long search. A life brought back from history. By Colin Reid
DESCRIPTION:When museum curator Colin Reid is handed a bullet-pierced diary for a Great War exhibition\, it sets him on a decades-long quest to discover the fate of its owner\, Corporal Claude Nuttall MM. \nThis remarkable true story recounts that journey: from the heartland of England to the battlefields of France\, and on to Nuttall’s homeland of Australia. It chronicles the piecing together of a forgotten life — a tale of love\, faith\, and unimaginable bravery — and the improbable series of chance events that brought together two families\, separated for a century by war. \nThe Digger’s Diary is a testament to the value of the cherished items in our lives. Items that have little intrinsic value but are utterly priceless. In the case of the Digger’s diary\, a relic that would elevate its owner from total obscurity to veneration by the people of the nation he fought to liberate. \nWhat reviewers have said: \n‘Truly powerful. Crafted by a gifted\, investigative researcher and wordsmith.’ \n‘I loved this. Warm\, personal\, and deeply engaging — a story that resonates across generations.’‍ \nThursday 12th November (7.00pm): Shrine of Remembrance\, Melbourne. \nClick here to order your copy
