An air of mystery surrounded Marcel Caux – one of the nation’s last surviving veterans of World War 1 – prior to his death in August 2004. He was unknown to most Australians until four years ago, when he suddenly emerged as a veteran of World War 1. The Department of Veteran Affairs said he had wished to retain some anonymity until that time and had asked that the file containing his service records be kept private. Why? Author and historian Lynette Ramsay Silver sets out to explain the mysterious life of Marcel Caux in this fascinating account of a man, who up until 2001, even had his family wondering what his past really revealed.
