The Diggers Story

What story would the statue tell?

Many years ago I was a young man who went to fight in a war in a faraway place.

When I went to the war I was

!only 19 years old. !a young man of 25. !a father of five young children.

Before the war I worked as !a farmer. !a logger. !a miner.

I said goodbye to my !mother and father. !friends and family. !wife and children.

Before I got to the war !I joined the Light Horse Brigade. !I learnt to become a soldier in Egypt.

I fought in battles !at Gallipoli in Turkey. !in Flanders Fields in France. !in many places.

The war was horrible because !I missed my family. !it was a frightening place. !many of my friends were killed.

The war went on for a long time

!but I was sent home when I got injured. !but I was finally sent home. !but it finally ended.

After the war I felt


! happy to see my family again. ! glad to be safe again. ! sad because so many of my friends had died. ! lonely because I didnt want to talk about the horrible things I had seen.
