AWW23: When Children are Cannon Fodder - Paul Byrnes

27 Mar 2023

Description

Chair: Paul Daley Too young to shave and still wearing short pants, boys as young as 13 lined up and lied about their age to volunteer in the Second World War. These boys must have forgotten the horrors their fathers and grandfathers endured in the First World War or not understood their true impact. Paul Byrnes shares some of these tragic and deeply moving personal stories with Paul Daley, a journalist and author with an abiding interest in history and national identity. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 12:00pm on the East Stage
