More DescriptionTwo Rockhampton families record their memories about growing up and starting work in Rockhampton during World War 2, and in the decade after that. Kiddy Bolger and Athol Chase both went to Leichhardt Ward State School, and the centenary reunion for LWSS got them started on recollections which led to this book. Their wives Delroi and Lesley were very happy to contribute the all-important female dimension too. The collection emerges from the efforts of two families, the Bolgers and the Chases, to provide some history for their grandchildren and hopefully it will add some perspectives on Rockhampton's past.
