Soldier Boy The Play:

The Opening Scene

Here's the first scene in the story of the real-life soldier boy, 14-year-old Jim Martin, the youngest Australian Anzac: the house in Hawthorn where he grew up. 

Here is where he told the great lie and said he was 18, enlisted for Gallipoli – where he lasted for all of seven weeks before dying of typhoid.

He is lmost certainly the youngest Australian soldier to die in war. The exterior of the house is still pretty much as it was in 1914. Like the Glenferrie school he attended.
