Robbing a Turkish Bank in war ravaged Gallipoli of its hoard of gold was not the uppermost thought in the minds of two young Cumbrian farm workers when they joined the army in 1915.Returning from the Great War, via a spell in the trenches of France, they discovered that the seeds of adventure had been firmly planted and that quiet living in a rural backwater held no future for them.After much soul searching they returned to Turkey to retrieve the gold and continue down to Australia to live a free life.They buy two large tracts of forest land - The Stack and Wongon - both massive one million acre estates; they raise families and prosper.Then the dark secret that they left in the Turkish Bank Vault comes back to haunt them and threatens them and their families.This family saga and adventure is full of danger, travel, romance, misplaced love, treachery, greed, infidelity and tribal honor and is based on two true life stories.The Stack is taken from the Film Script “The Stack” by Chelsy Swann.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the chaos of Gallipoli, two young English soldiers stumble upon a fortune in gold - and a secret that will echo across generations. When Cumberland farm boys Will Murphy and Horatio Tallentire enlist in 1915, they expect mud, blood, and glory in the Great War. Instead, amid exploding shells on the war-ravaged Turkish peninsula, they seize a life-changing opportunity: a Turkish bank vault blown open, its hoard of freshly minted gold coins waiting to be claimed. Surviving the trenches of France, they retrieve their hidden treasure and sail for a new life in Australia. There, they carve out two vast forest empires - The Stack and Wongon - raise families, and build prosperous legacies. But war spoils carry a curse. Decades later, the dark secret they buried in that Gallipoli vault resurfaces, threatening everything they hold dear: their land, their loved ones, and the fragile peace they fought so hard to find. A sweeping historical family saga of adventure, greed, romance, treachery, and redemption - inspired by two true stories. This item is printed on demand.
