The Echo of Silent Guns Barbara Thiele

This remarkable woman, Ida May Morris was an imaginative raconteur, telling tall tales to entertain her family and friends.

When her husband William is killed at the Battle of the Somme, she takes her two children and extended family to Australia for a better life. Moving to the raw outback was not a simple solution.
