About
Join us at an event to celebrate the launch of Billy: A Boy from Queenstown Tasmania by Sandra Stubbings.Sandra will be in conversation with Emeritus Professor Stefan Petrow, Tasmanian academic and historian.
It’s not known how many underaged Tasmanian lads signed on for the Great War, but Sandra Stubbings’ great uncle Billy Gadd from Queenstown was one of them. He signed on in 1915 at just 16 years of age.
Sandra Stubbings is a retired consultant, university administrator and secondary school teacher. Sandra holds a BA DipEd from the University of Queensland with a major in Australian history and literature. Billy: A Boy from Queenstown will be her first published piece and possibly the first published story of a Tasmanian World War 1 boy soldier.
