Summary
The Lost Boys tells the powerful true story of underage Australian and New Zealand soldiers who enlisted to fight in World War I. Author Paul Byrnes uncovers the forgotten experiences of boys as young as fourteen who lied about their age to join the ANZAC forces. Through meticulous research and personal accounts, the book reveals how these young soldiers endured the horrors of war, the motivations behind their enlistment, and the lasting impact on their lives. It's a poignant tribute to the courage and sacrifice of these child soldiers whose stories have largely been overlooked in military history.
