The Seventeenth Battalion AIF - In The Great War 1914 - 1918. 2nd Ed? 1946
Latest addition to my library on Australia in WWI, I managed to get it fairly cheap actually cannot find to many copies for sale there is a 1980 facsimile for sale at $159.
The original was published in 1933 I believe so this could be a 2nd Ed but does not say much either way I am pretty happy to have it bears some interesting inscriptions which I have pictured.
I will probably never get to own all the books about our WWI service in H/C's some are just well outside of my wallet $1000 + for some copies, plus it is a long process waiting for the books to come up at the right price and condition.
Also just finished after 10 years piecing together a reading copies of the 12 volume set written by C E W Bean of Australia's 1914-1918 war (price V's availability) as my other set is too good & pristine being a shelf dweller.
And just upgraded my 5th Australian Division H/C 1st Ed for a better one also a 1st Ed and eagerly await its arrival as I am selling the one I have to help fund it.
So in the age of plastic people and computers there is nothing better to me than the feel of paper and the printed word I am pretty happy with that lot.Information
