Description:…Well dear Jim it breaks my heart to write this letter. Our dear [brother] was killed yesterday morning at 5.30. The bullet killed him instantly and he never spoke a word. I had just left him and gone down the trench to see the other lads when I was called back. Oh Jim it is awful … Oh I do hope he is the last …It is 27 April, 1918, Jim’s brother writes from the battlefields of France. Of five brothers serving on the Western Front, three have given their lives; another has been hospitalised. There was more brutal warfare were to be endured …World War I was a senseless tragedy. Its long shadow darkened the four corners of the world. In Mologa, Victoria, once a bustling community, stands a lonely stone memorial. Etched within the granite are the names of the Marlow brothers and their mates – a testament to ordinary people who became heroes.Anzac Sons is composed from a collection of over 500 letters and postcards written by the brothers who served, four in the 38th Battalion and another in the 2nd Light Trench Mortar Battery.
