In keeping with his previous books, Noel Humphreys has persevered with his tried and true content, with verses covering military history and his undisputed national pride. Noel has pride elsewhere as well. He has found a stronger love of family members. Over recent years he has lost both his Vietnam veteran brothers, and the death of a brother-in-law has created a much stronger bond between Noel and his sister, his sole surviving sibling. In this book Noel Humphreys opens up about his loves and his favourite poets. There is also a little about his love for cricket. Fans of his previous books will enjoy this book.

Noel Humphreys

Noel Humphreys was born the third of four children in Liverpool, New South Wales, in 1947. He was educated in a number of New South Wales schools and reached the level of Intermediate Certificate, which is the equivalent to today’s Year 10.

Noel worked for a few years on the New South Wales rail authority before following his eldest brother’s lead and enlisting in the army. His twenty-year career included two tours of duty in Viet Nam during the conflict in that country. The first tour in 1967–1968 was shared with both his brothers.

He married at 19, and he and his wife Heather had two daughters and adopted a son. In August 2026 they chalked up 60 years together

Noel and Heather presently live in Caboolture, Queensland. They enjoy caravanning, with their travels in Australia enabling Noel to gain inspiration for his poetry from this great land.
