- At eight years old, an impoverished Bert Facey was forced to start the backbreaking, dawn-to-dusk life of a farm labourer.
- At last, fortune seems to smile on young Bert. He goes to work for the Phillips, a childless couple who treat him as one of the family.
- Bert's relationship with his mother is both sweet and sour, but mostly sour. He has been toughened by years of hard work which has made him almost totally self-reliant.
- At nineteen, powerfully built from his years of manual labour, Bert joins Mickey Finn's Boxing Troupe as a prize fighter. Touring Australia as a heavyweight, he never loses a bout. When World War I breaks out, Bert rushes to enlist.
