"Those and other places have given us stories to be proud of" (Les Carolyn). The two boys believed that there they would have their time to shine. Things like escaping fire by swimming naked underwater made things seem like a fairytale war designed by design. “Australia was born as a nation on April 25,” says Bill Sellars, a Gallipoli-based Australian journalist, describing the day the newly independent country mourned the loss of young soldiers on a distant battlefield (Hammer, Joshua) . The play sounds more like a disturbance to the country rather than a celebration of glory. Tragic. It is the most logically accurate, yet heartfelt description of the shocking turn of events at Gallipoli. The infantry experiences a battle that awakens them to the epiphany of the real time of war and raises the idea that lives are at stake. The comrades are dead. Some are mortally wounded and barely survive. A soldier confides in Frank and asks him to send his diary home. Frank is stunned and appears to be at a loss for words. Now it shows the sad reality of this thing called war, which is not a childish desire for glory, but a rather mature permanent change in living conditions.
