Approx weigh is 1kg. Geoff Plunkett's book Chemical Warfare in Australia delves into Australia's secret history with chemical weapons. It reveals how, during World War II, Australia covertly imported 1,000,000 chemical weapons, including 16 types of mustard gas, to counter the potential threat posed by Japan. The book explores the storage, handling, and disposal of these weapons, as well as the live trials conducted to test their effectiveness. Plunkett also highlights the Chemical Warfare Armourers, the personnel responsible for managing these dangerous weapons, many of whom suffered physical and mental consequences due to their exposure. The book contains over 300 photographs, offering a rare visual history of this secretive chapter in Australia's military past.

This story of No. 2 Independent Company (2/2nd Commando Squadron) cover one of the most dramatic episodes in Australian Military history. Three hundred men, most of them sick with malaria, pitted against a crack, 3000 strong Japanese invasion force was poor odds - yet this was the situation in little-understood battle for Portuguese Timor in February 1942. In Australia the untested men of No. 2 Independent Company were written off, presumed killed or captured - it was the only logical conclusion. Yet this was not the case. After twenty-two men had successfully defended the Dili airfield - holding up the Japanese invasion forced for six valuable hours - the unit regrouped in the mountainous interior from where it launched an extraordinary guerrilla campaign. A year later the company was thrown in the streaming jungles of New Guinea to fight another cat and mouse war. Then it was off to New Britain where 50,000 Japanese were trapped on a peninsula south of Rabaul. All The Bull's is an action-packed story, filled with kind of bravery, fortitude, resourcefulness and humour inherent in the Australian Army. See photo.
