The Battlefield

Long, Don

Paea, Phillip

Notes
When a family moves onto a farm, they discover that there is a battlefield on the property. At first the children play in the overgrown rifle pits and trenches, but, gradually they begin to wonder what really happened there. This is a story about a girl who discovers she may have had ancestors on both sides during the colonial land wars.
What does it mean to be of mixed ancestry?
