Beschreibung

"This is the story of the 42nd Australian Infantry Battalion. It gives a glimpse of the exploits of the original battalion in World War I, covers very briefly the between-wars period and begins in earnest with the battalion on duty at Yeppoon.Tiaro.Townsville and New Guinea, through the Salamaua campaign to Lae, back again to Australia and finally over to Bougainville." "The battle record of the 29th Infantry Brigade can only be assessed if it be first realised that no prisoners from the brigade were taken by the Japanese, all our killed and wounded were recovered, we never lost a battle or failed to carry out the job. Our battle casualities were severe and exceeded casualties from illness; our decorations were numerous." Dedicated to Fallen Comrades and their Next of Kin. Maps drawn by Jim Reynolds. Blocks, maps, etc, provided by the Australian War Memorial Canberra. Original purple cloth boards, lettered gilt on spine, (22 cm height) blind-embossed Battalion Crest. Pp. 220 (xii) including Acknowledgments, Foreword by Benson, Prelude (by C. W. Davidson), Prelude 2 (by R. F. Monaghan), Contents. Photograph plates throughout. P. 218 - P. 220 Awards, Honour Roll.
