\"We hit Cairo like a train! ...Every dirty little alley, every dusty back room bar - the pyramids are marvellous, but I could spend the rest of my days quite happily in the arms of your temptation.\"

Based on the State Library of NSW's jaw-dropping collection of First World War diaries, photographs and letters. A Town Named War Boy brings to life the personal accounts of the young men and women that set sail for the far side of the world. Their exploits are our history. Their sacrifices are the stories we grow up with: the ANZAC legend. Some of these diaries and letters are finished, others just stop. When you read them you meet the person, see the changes in their hand writing, feel the indentation of the pen, the smudges of changed thoughts. Our young past is captured, alive and preserved.
