| Summary |
Digger Smith" is a series of narrative poems about an Australian soldier coming home in the closing months of the Great War minus a leg and with "ANZAC eyes"... what a later war would call "The Thousand Yard Stare". Despite his post-traumatic stress disorder, Digger Smith sets about ministering to everybody's troubles but his own... his internal conviction that his amputee status will make him seem "half a man" in the eyes of the lady love he left behind when he went off to the War. Oh Digger Smith, how little faith you have in woman... |
