Under the Same Moon is a distinctive narrative that weaves together the lives of a family, their sons, and the men of the battalion they join, all set against the backdrop of a now-vanished Australia of World War II.Author Peter Mitchell will share how he compiled this story and social history, drawing extensively from unpublished and previously unseen written accounts, oral histories, letters and archival materials. Learn about the story’s unique connection to Collingwood and Carlton, including an entire district football team, the Carlton Imperial Rovers who enlisted when the Battalion was formed in May 1940.
