Soldier Boy


by Anthony Hill

This is a story about one of Australia’s youngest soldiers, Jim Martin. Jim was 14 years of age but on his army registration papers he put down that he was 18. His parents tried to stop him but he threatened to move out and register under another name if they did not sign the papers.
If you want to find out the rest of the book, then you’re going to have to read it and find out for yourself.
This is a great story that I would recommend for people aged 13 and above. It is a book about an amazingly brave young soldier who risks his own life to fight for this great land that he loved, Australia.
