Details
The son of a struggling butcher, Stan Savige left school at just 12 years old to work as a blacksmith's striker. He was a boy scout leader and Sunday school teacher when a passage in the Bible moved him to enlist for World War One — and what followed was one of the most extraordinary military careers in Australian history.
His crack marksmanship quickly saw him placed in charge of a sniper's post at Gallipoli, where his deadly accuracy became the stuff of legend. From those dusty, dangerous ridges above Anzac Cove, Savige would go on to rise through the ranks to become a General in World War Two — a journey that defied every expectation of a boy from humble beginnings.
In ANZAC Sniper, author Roland Perry brings Savige's remarkable story to life in vivid, gripping detail. This is Australian military history at its finest — inspiring, moving, and utterly unforgettable.
A must-read for anyone who loves Anzac history, military biography, or simply a great Australian story of courage against the odds.
