This book commemorates, through the letters of one soldier, the contributionof those New Zealanders who volunteered to go to war in far-off lands because they believed their values and their country were worth fighting for.

Owen Gatman's letters home provide a firs-tperson perspective on how his initial feelings of adventure and excitement were ground down by boring routine, barely sufferable climatic conditions and the realities and horrors of modern warfare.

Amazingly, despite everything he experience, Owen still managed to retain his faith in the basic goodness of human nature and an ability to see beauty in the midst of battle.
