episode 29: Death of a brother
"He felt no pain and knew nothing of the terror of approaching the brink!" So wrote one of the Smythe brothers to Percy. Which brother dies? Well, you'll have to listen.
That letter is read in this episode by a real digger not me and that is another reason to listen.
Percy is still in England and the anxiety over his brothers heighten. He loses one then doesn't hear so much from another. Then the letters of condolence sent home are lost when the SS Mongolia his a mine.
Things can only get better and they do in the next episode!
