Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Crossed Boomerangs: The History of All the 31 Battalions — Bob Burla A substantial and highly specialised Australian military history documenting the long and distinguished story of the 31st Infantry Battalion and its associated 31 Battalions, with particular emphasis on the soldiers of North Queensland. Written by Bob (Robert) Burla, a former member of the Battalion, Crossed Boomerangs traces the unit's lineage for more than a century, from its North Queensland origins in 1885, through the Boer War, First World War, Second World War and the post-war period. The history encompasses the 31st Battalion AIF, the 2/31st Battalion and the 31/51st Battalion, together with the experiences of men who subsequently served with distinction in other Australian units and conflicts. Of particular historical interest are the Battalion's connections with Australian Victoria Cross recipients, including Private Patrick Bugden VC, Private James Gordon VC, and former member Warrant Officer Keith Payne VC. Burla originally prepared his research as a ten-part series of historical journals. Following his death in 1995, his extensive work was brought together and enhanced with photographs supplied by his widow, Elsie Burla, and other sources, creating this detailed permanent history of the Battalion.
