Description

A Long Way Home

Buy "A Long Way Home" book now from the military specialists. Experience the gripping story of one POW's escape and evasion during World War II. Discover the four essential elements for survival: food, water, shelter, and clothing. These essentials are crucial for a precarious life, but it is the power of mateship that truly shines through. Join Charles Granquist, a World War I veteran's son, on his journey as he lied about his age and joined the infantry at 17. Captured by the Germans in Greece, Granquist's determination to carry the war to his captors led to five remarkable escape attempts. Despite their failure, he refused to give up and fulfilled his duty as an Aussie Digger. Immerse yourself in the rollercoaster of escape, recapture, and 196 days of solitary confinement before his eventual return home with his Russian war bride. This memoir adds an important chapter to the story of Australian World War II POWs, showcasing the spirit, humour, persistence, and ingenuity expected of an Aussie Digger. "A Long Way Home" is a tribute to one veteran's spirit and the cherished mateship that still resonates today.
