Poppa reveals a war medal in his hand to his grandson. Manu asks,
‘Did you win it?†‘Sort of, a King gave it to me,’ the old
man says. He then tells Manu how his Anzac platoon rescued the
Greek King, Prime Minister and the rest of their party on a Greek
Island during World War II. It’s a perilous journey trekking from
one side of the island to the other, trudging up a ravine, across
the White Mountains, and through a narrow gorge. They must avoid
the German paratroopers landing in their thousands on the island
and renegade Crete mountaineers who shoot at them, mistaking them
for Germans. Due to the kindness of the village people and the
dedication of the Anzac soldiers they make it to the coast and send
out SOS signals. But they don’t know if the ship is friend or
foe. Manu discovers a tale of bravery, teamwork and sacrifice and
sees his grandfather in a new light.
