1 Percy’s War Jason Fischer , 2014 single work short story fantasy
— Appears in: Review of Australian Fiction , vol. 12 no. 2 2014;

A fantastic re-imagining of the author's grandfather's experiences in World War I:

There’s no doubt that Percy was an interesting fellow, but by all accounts he didn’t talk about the war much. After poring through his war records and that of his brother Bernie (who saw a lot of action throughout France and I believe Gallipoli?) I have blended reality with my own unique brand of fantasy. He wasn’t on deployment for very long by the time the Armistice was signed, but that’s not to say he didn’t face a unique war of his own…
