The is a true story, a story of love, mateship and the bond between husband
and wife, friend and friend, father and son. The Glass Soldier is a play,
inspired by the life of Nelson Ferguson who served in France as a Field
Ambulance officer in World War I. It is an epic story about war and art and the
triumph of love told from the point of view of a young Australian who was
plunged into a powerful international tragedy, the likes of which he could
never have anticipated.
