Join us for an author talk with Paul Byrnes about the untold stories of under-age soldiers who fought in the First World War. These are incredibly powerful and moving stories of the Anzac kids who lied about their age to fight in the First World War- a unique and deeply personal side of history told here for the first time more than one hundred years on.

About the author: Paul Byrnes joined The Sydney Morning Herald in 1976, reporting from various corners of the world for a decade before specialising as a feature writer and film critic.
