Summary "Jim and Wally" by Mary Grant Bruce is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely around the time of World War I. The story centers on two young Australian boys, Jim Linton and his close friend Wally Meadows, as they navigate the harrowing experiences of trench warfare in Europe. It blends themes of friendship, bravery, and the harsh realities of conflict, particularly highlighting the impact of the war on both the soldiers and their families back home. The opening of the novel immerses the reader in the grim atmosphere of the trenches in Flanders, where Jim and Wally face the struggles of military life amid continuous artillery bombardments. The narrative captures their interactions, camaraderie, and humor, which serve as a coping mechanism amidst the trauma of war. As they prepare for a potential attack, tension mounts, and the reality of gas warfare strikes, leading to a dramatic moment where both boys find themselves fighting for survival. This gripping start sets the stage for a tale about the friendship between the two boys, the hardship of war, and the anxieties of loved ones waiting back home.
