A new book by Wagga ex-pat, John Sheahan, about Australia’s worst military training accident and largest military funeral on home soil will be released in time for Remembrance Day.
The launch of The Kapooka Tragedy: remembering May 21, 1945 on November 9 is intended to coincide with Remembrance Day because the book acknowledges a group of sappers whose sacrifice, until recently, was largely forgotten and their families who were left to mourn alone.
