Beschreibung

Brisbane, William Brooks & Co (Q.) Pty. Ltd., 1948. Octavo, [xiv], 327 pages plus 10 leaves of plates (mainly portraits). Red crocodile-patterned padded roan lettered in gilt on the spine and front cover, all edges speckled red; leather a little rubbed, with the spine lightly sunned; an excellent copy with a few relevant annotations. A few related newspapers cuttings are loosely inserted. Provenance: the small ownership stamp of 'J. Fleet' appears on a handful of pages. 594 Company Sergeant-Major Francis John Fleet DCM, veteran of Gallipoli and the Western Front, was later treasurer of the Angels Remembrance Club, 15th Battalion AIF, and it is possible that this deluxe binding was reserved for presentation to contributors (the Club is mentioned in the acknowledgements). The annotations are possibly in his hand: the most interesting ones amend the caption to the first plate facing page 82. (For the record, Chataway's initials are T.P. not E.F., and Lieutenant Robinson is to the left of Lieutenant Mudge, not to his right.) The author, a Gallipoli veteran, rose through the ranks. Dornbusch 303; Fielding and O'Neill, page 226; Trigellis-Smith 218. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 129492
