Aust'n. World War stories 1. From the World War 1 Middle Eastern Theatre of War, the Desert Campaign and the Light Horse military victory, to a quiet family life in a gold mining town. Albert, an Australian Light Horseman tells wild stories of bravery, while Iris his daughter copes with his tumultuous return. We follow a few years in the life of Iris, a teenage girl and her family in Kalgoorlie Boulder in the Gold Fields of Western Australia after 1919. Albert spends his Sunday afternoons drinking beer from a crate in the back yard, with fantastic memories of The Great Ride into Beersheba and Damascus. Iris hears it all and tries to keep her loyalty to her father in the face of his love of a drink, torrid affairs and the departure of her mother, Ailish.
