Ken and Ron Sillcock from Yinnar in Gippsland both enlisted and served in different theatres of the Second World War. Ron flew Hudson aircraft and was killed in an anti-submarine action off Trinidad in 1942. Ken served in the Middle East and later in the RAAF in missions over Europe. Their letters to each other and back home to their family form a fascinating and intimate account of life during wartime. Ken Sillcock is now in his late nineties and has assembled the correspondence between himself and his brother and back home to their family. The letters are interspersed with Ken's witty and acerbic comments and annotations. In 'Two Journeys into Peril' we get an honest and unvarnished picture of life during wartime.
