Great War Stories 2 - William Malone
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2015
...I didn't really realise the remarkable man he was — even before his war feats. His self-discipline and determination was very incredible.– Colonel William Malone's great-great-great grandson, Lachlan on his famous relative
They are all very brave. I hope I shall have the chance to tell the people of New Zealand what grand fellows their soldier men are.– Colonel William Malone on his soldiers
As I write, your dear photo is within eight inches of my hand. I look at you every time I lift my eyes from writing. Your photo calms me and helps. We'll have another honeymoon together, sweetheart, when the war is over.– Colonel William Malone in a letter to his wife Ida, the day before leading the assault on Chunuk Bair
