AGM closes.
Morning Tea.
Speaker: John Howell.
‘The Only Woman at Gallipoli’ is his first book. It is a mystery story but also a true story and emerged from a snippet that he read – a scrap of a story so fascinating that it started a long search. The search became a voyage of discovery – from Australian libraries to Turkey, and unseen diaries and love letters in London and Northern England.
The story was unearthed over five years, as John found and assembled pieces of an amazing jigsaw puzzle without knowing until the end that the final picture would look so good. While it is set in a time of war, it more a story of some real and amazing people. There are some tales of battle, but there are poems and love letters too.
Meeting closes 12.00
Lunch at Warrandyte Bridge Café.
