Canberra / Loftus, NSW: Australian History Publications / Australian Army History Unit, 2001. 1st ed.. Hardback large wide octavo, dustjacket, very good condition, (in very good dustjacket), colour & sepia (brown-tinted) photos, black & white drawings, minor edgewear jacket, few tiny foxed spots endpapers, compact disk attached to last page. Heavy (1.3 Kg), and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 434 pp. Major Robert Morrison has compiled a book of the poetry written by famous warrior poets such as A.B. (Banjo) Paterson as well as ordinary soldiers - often while on active service. The book looks at the history of Australians at arms, from 1901, through the many conflicts and peace-keeping tasks in which our Diggers have been involved. The on-going East Timor deployment completes 100 years of military involvement. The First and Second World Wars are the main feature in this book because of their large scale involvement. Some of the poems are not politically correct, but they do show the attitudes of society at that time. (Companion CD of poems at rear.).
