Bridging the Gap

Bridging the Gap explores our cultural differences and their profound impact on generational relationships. While older generations cling to traditional customs, younger Muslims navigate the complexities of Western influence, resulting in a divergence of values and beliefs.

Through anecdotes and scholarly insights, the book delves into the pivotal role of grandparents in migrant families, illuminating how they serve as custodians of cultural heritage and sources of wisdom.

By fostering understanding and dialogue, it charts a path towards reconciliation, where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously in the ever-evolving tapestry of Islamic identity.

a Soldier’s Diary

 

No. 33463 Cecil Howard Taylor 50th Battalion – 108 Howitzer AIF 1916-1919

‘an enemy plane was brought down today, Baron Von Richthofen was the pilot’ ‘the whole countryside was one huge flame of fire, what a battle – fear was found nowhere’ ‘so at daylight on Easter Sunday, we were baptised in shells and mud’ What a sight – dead – yes in every little trench and hole made by shells, there were dead – such is war’ ‘we ran together until a shell fell right down between us … ‘ ‘eleven times the Huns came afresh, and eleven times we withstood our ground – each time with less men and yet each time with more confidence’ ‘I cannot see what such folly war is, but for some suicide for any country – surely people were not
predestined to such giving and taking of lives’ ‘the few words I have written in this diary are as nothing compared to what might have been written’

Samuel Carvosso 1814-1874

Coachbuilder & Much More

People fade from the pages of history, often leaving little or no historical memory in their community. Yet, for a time, they have occupied centre stage, some longer, some shorter, but all heroic. Samuel Carvosso arrived in Adelaide with his young family in February 1849, an ‘Old Colonist’. He lived life to the full, was memorable, likeable, complex, honest, generous, yet flawed (as we all are). He lived a Wesleyan life integrating a personal faith in his Lord with the church, his work and the broader community.

Extensive appendixes include family trees and details of Samuel’s contemporaries, friends and extended family who intersected his life. Also includes insightful fragments about the women—Samuel’s wife Louisa, their daughters, and other women.

“Samuel Carvosso’s story takes the reader on a journey through the challenges and achievements of another time. It brings to light a slice of history, showing us the differences and similarities with our own lives.”

A Veritable Hell

The 32nd Battalion at Fromelles and the families who searched for answers

THE MEN

‘Have passed through a night of Hell on earth. It was awful. The noise and the sights of dead and dying men… We are a very sad few. All our best pals gone. It is damnable.’

Patrick Ohlstrom, 32nd Battalion

In one terrible night in July 1916, over 5500 Australians were casualties at the Battle of Fromelles. The 32nd Battalion from South Australia and Western Australia lost over 85% of its fighting strength. Using the words of those from the 32nd Battalion who survived, the course of the battle in their sector during that night is reconstructed, and the horrific experiences of brave men thrust into an impossible situation revealed.

The Commanding Officer of the 32nd was dismissed in the wake of Fromelles. Was he a scapegoat for the actions of others?

THEIR FAMILIES

‘It is only God himself who knows what the word ‘Missing’ means to those that love them.’

Eva Dellow, friend of Jack Crawford, 32nd Battalion

In the weeks and months following the battle, anxious families in Australia were gradually informed that a husband, son or brother was missing. For long years many were given little or no information about the fate of the missing man.

The heart-breaking letters written by the families of South Australian men of the 32nd Battalion to the Military and to the Red Cross reveal their grief, anxiety, and suspense as they waited for news, and made their own desperate enquiries.

PAPERBACK

The Last Head Hunters

Derrick Marsh returns to his home city after disappearing while living with the last head-hunting tribes in New Guinea.

However, shortly after he returns home, a strange and terrifying masked assailant begins disrupting the city, a police investigation, and a mining company connected to New Guinea.

The media immediately jump on the story, dubbing the assailant the Hectorville Head Hunter.

Notions of good and evil quickly blur, as Derrick is tested to make the right choices and to find the truth about New Guinea. But is Derrick really seeking the truth or just revenge against those who left him for dead?
