An Australian hero torn between family and country 'Put Les Darcy in a uniform
and the men of Australia will march to hell behind him.' that was the message
trained on Australia's great 'Blacksmith Boxer', as debate about conscription
raged in the middle of World War I. the problem was that Les Darcy didn't want
to march at the fore of such a procession, nor to such a destination. He wanted
to continue what he had been doing to extraordinary acclaim before the war began
- taking on the best boxers the world could throw at him, and lifting his entire
family out of poverty as he did so. torn between the duty he felt he owed his
family, and the duty many felt he owed his country, Les made his choice ... and
faced the consequences. And so unfolds a ballad of love, war, betrayal, mystery,
patriotism and heroism; a ballad of a champion whose story still has the power
to move the stoniest heart.
