Ted's Bottle

Résumé du livre

"For more than 60 years a bottle of beer has remained unopened behind the bar of the Waihao Forks Hotel. The pub is about seven miles west of Waimate in South Canterbury and was left there by Private La Tour Mollet "Ted" d'Auvergne when he left for overseas service in January 1940. He told the publican he'd drink it when he got back from the war - but Ted d'Auvergne was killed in action in Crete in 1941. ... What follows is the story of Ted d'Auvergne - his family, his life at Waihao Forks, his death in Crete, and his bottle."--Introduction.
