Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. "It tells the life story of Australia's first soldier to complete the full circle from staff cadet to Chief of the General Staff. It is the first book ever to be published by an Australian army officer who has held such high appointments. Through service in the Light Horse in World War I, the uneasy years of peace that followed, senior command in World War II and the responsibilities of Chief of Staff afterwards, a dedicated officer and a warm human personality has served his country. .All Australian ex-servicemen, whether they served in the Middle East, Greece, Crete or the Pacific will find interest in these memoirs; today's Regular officers, if they fail to read these pages, will be turning their backs on the fruits of the experience of a fine soldier who might well be their example." --- Original red cloth boards, lettered gilt on spine (22.2 cm height).
