Anzac Ted is the heart-warming tale of a teddy bear who goes to war. Told through the eyes of a young boy, this is the story about his unconditional love for his bear who was passed down to him from his grandfather. At the outbreak of World War I, Anzac Ted finds himself heading into battle for luck. But he soon becomes a symbol of comfort, hope and the memory of home for the Anzacs, and returns from war an unsung hero. Decades later Anzac Ted doesn’t attract a single vote at the school’s Toy Show — yet this worn and battered old bear has a powerful and moving legacy to bestow.
