Abstract
No Names, No Pack Drill is set in the Sydney summer of 1942 and looks at the effect of the so-called “Yankee invasion” during World War II.
The story focuses on Kathy, a young married woman who lives in Kings Cross, who wakes up the morning after a party to find a US marine asleep on her couch. He is absent-without-leave, looking for a way back to the US – and what happens next changes the trajectory of both their lives.
