Plot summary

The story follows Peter Fullerton and Tony Cantonelli's teen life as they illegally join the Australian army and are shipped off to the Siege of Tobruk. They soon become men as they experience heartfelt moments and feel much hurt throughout the story.

Blurb

There's always a moment of almost uncontrollable fear and terror when a patrol comes back and the face you're looking for isn't there.

It is 1940, and sixteen-year-old Peter Fullerton and his best mate Tony Cantonelli give false names and lie about their age to enlist in the army. Heroes Of Tobruk follows Peter and Tony from the outbreak of war, through military training and the Siege of Tobruk.

A moving story about the horror of war and the courage of ordinary soldiers.
