Jill Mather is pleased to advise that her brand new book is available to add to your important collection of war time animals.

This book has a substantial number of rare photographs and information, especially regarding the use of Waler horses in World War Two.

The general perception was after World War One that the Walers had become redundant and turned out, to be used for mainly for pastoral and local requirements.

The wartime use of animals by the Anzacs is an amazing story as you will read.

It also contains items relating to the New Zealand horses and the role that the N.Z Expeditionary Forces played.

Once again it is written with an easy content reference so that you can select your favourite sections. This makes it ideal for dipping into and especially suits younger readers aged from 12 upwards.

Jill Mather

Jill Mather was a former journalist working for international newspapers before becoming a television presenter and freelance writer. During the past five years she has contributed a substantial number of stories and articles for radio broadcast, lectured in Art and Literature and written several plays which have been performed. She has won numerous prizes including Best Script for a documentary film, and recently received an Award for Excellence in Art and Culture presented by the Gosford City Council.

Researching and writing the story of the famous horses has been a passionate journey that has taken the author back to her childhood love of horses. Unfortunately this was halted by a crippling illness which left her unable to continue riding.
