Allen & Unwin 1st edition thus 2007 ISBN 9781741752052. Card covers ix + 341pp. New book. Originally published in 1937 (and long out of print), this is a gripping, first hand account of a young soldier's experiences in France and Belgium with the 48th Battalion during the First World War. Drawing on his wartime diaries, George Deane Mitchell, who won the Military Cross, relives the horror and the humour of being an Australian soldier on the Western Front in World War I. This new edition - with commentary by Robert Macklin, author of Jacka VC - will allow a new generation of readers to fall under the spell of this forgotten Australian classic.
