This book describes the events of one day in the city of Christchurch but it leads to many parts of the world. The battle scenes in Italy are particularly striking and recapture with remarkable success the unique atmosphere of the New Zealand Division. This is a tough, virile and acutely observed account of Kiwis in war and peace. 

1959 edition, third impression.
