Finding George is a book about a soldier who fought in the World War. This Book was written by Henrietta Bollinger. Henrietta Bollinger is the great great niece of George Bollinger (the famous New Zealand Soldier).
Here is what Henrietta Bollinger has written in the first paragraph.
"George Wallace Bollinger was an ANZAC soldier at Gallipoli. Over a hundred
thousand men died there in 1915, including almost 2,800 New Zealanders.
My sister and I learnt about George when we researched a history project for
school. It turned out that his diary was kept at the Alexander Turnbull Library
in Wellington. So we went there to take a look.
Along with the diary, we found George’s letters and photos and will – all
the usual things you might expect. But we also found something else: a letter
from a private detective. He had been paid by the army to spy on George.
It seemed that although my uncle thought of himself as an ordinary
New Zealander, the same as his mates, not everyone saw it that way"I really enjoyed reading this book.
