Description
A very good narrative account, packed with names. The author was Adjutant of this Tasmanian-based unit and he covers its services from August 1914 through to the bitter end it fought at Bullecourt in 1917, losing in one month 600 men and gaining two VCs. Many of the recipients of awards are named in the text. The final chapter is effectively an appendix of awards and casualties.
