There are multiple similarities and differences between both the book Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo and the Movie Gallipoli by Peter Weir. Charlie and Tommo were brothers and on the other hand Archie and Frank were friends. In private peaceful Charlie and Tommo were from England whereas Archie and Frank from Gallipoli were from Australia. In both stories the older one was more confident than the younger although both of the younger ones wanted to join up for the war even when they were underage.

In both stories the country was the main seen in the start of the story. In private peaceful they live on the colonel's land which was a farm meaning a lot of their life was spent tending to the land and also playing on it. When the Colonel asked for all the men to go to the great war Tommo had to talk to Charlie quite a lot to get him to go to war. Once he agreed they went to register and join up. They said they were twins and that was the end of it. They were put into the same battalion due to the pals battalion law keeping towns together and a closer group.

Archie made it to the light horses which Frank didn’t due to not being able to ride a horse well. Frank then joined a ground brigade which didn’t require many skills at all. They were training in egypt at the training camps and were doing role play warfare. Franks battalion were running at Archies battalion and neither of them knew the other was there.
