The silent division -- Part Two. Concerning one man's war Summary: It is appropriate that the imminent centenary of the start of World War l should be marked by publishing in one volume, two works of the greatest New Zealand front-line writer, twice decorated and thrice wounded, about that war. Ormond Edward Burton lived life at an uncompromising extreme, whether as a soldier - when, as recounted in this book, he more than once voluntarily went to considerable lengths to put himself in harm's way, as he saw it in his unit's interests - or later as a clergyman and Christian pacifist.
