It was one of a number of radio verse plays the ABC produced in the wake of the success of Fire on the Snow.[3]

The play was performed again a number of times on radio. It was published in 1945 with a foreword by Gordon Bennett.[4]

According to Leslie Rees, "although there is sensitive and vivid writing, the dominant character of the play is that of manliness, forthright feeling and mateship in face of deadly danger, a paean to the Diggers."[5]
