Produced by Al Haines
"The Kangaroo Marines" by Capt. R. W. Campbell is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story highlights the bravery and unique character of a group of Australian soldiers, known as the Kangaroo Marines, as they embark on their journey to war. The book captures their camaraderie, individual quirks, and the sense of adventure that drives them to enlist and fight for their country. At the start of the narrative, we meet a quartet of lively characters living on a sheep station in Australia, each with distinct backgrounds and personalities. Bill Buster, Claud Dufair, Paddy Doolan, and Sandy Brown are drawn together by their desire to fight for the Motherland after seeing a humorous yet enticing recruitment ad for the Kangaroo Marines. The opening chapters establish their friendships and the lively banter they share as they prepare to join the military, setting the stage for their upcoming adventures and challenges in the face of war.
