Return of the Toy Soldier

They say war is hell ; though in the case of Mike Parris, there were other battles to be lost and won; lost love, anti-Semitism, and self-discovery. Drafted into the army and sent to Australia, Mike meets a young Australian nurse, falls in love, and plans to marry her. Separated by war, he later returns to find her gone. Years later, he returns to Australia to try to find her and understand what had happened so many years ago. Both a romantic tale and deeply personal memoir, Return Of The Toy Soldier is also a classic wartime coming of age story.
