Book
Facsimile ed. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white photos, minor edgewear jacket 323 pp. A biography of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Green, DSO, by his wife Olwyn Green. He trained in 41 Militia Battalion in the 1930s and then joined the newly-formed AIF in 1939. He was appointed as an officer to 2/2 Infantry Battalion (6 Division) and sent to the Middle East. After the early campaigns along the African north coast, the division was sent to Greece where Green was involved in the fighting withdrawal against the Germans. He escaped to Turkey before he could be captured. He was appointed CO of 2/11 Infantry Battalion and led them in the North New Guinea campaigns. He had a spell as a post-war civilian, and then rejoined the army and as Lieutenant-Colonel Green, and took 3RAR to the Korean War in 1950. He led the battalion successfully in a difficult battle in North Korea where he took a stray shell mortally wounding him. His wife Olwyn Green wrote this book (originally published in 1993) to help her to understand Charlie's military career which she had never fully appreciated. Olwyn traces his story through interviews with his fighting companions and from letters he wrote home to her. Her long search has produced an inspiring picture of the fine simple man who became an outstanding military leader, lost by chance, in a distant war. Facsimile edition.
