About this Item
Description:
London, Printed by Cassell & Co., Ltd., [1918]. Quarto, 52, [4] ('An Appreciation' plus 3 blank 'Memoranda') pages with 30 illustrations (many by H.H. Chappel, who appears in the Roll of Honour on page 47 as Gunner H.H. Chappell). Pictorial card covers a little rubbed, foxed and marked, with a short sealed tear to the rear leading edge; acidic paper a little tanned; a very good copy. A souvenir of the voyage of the troopship HMAT A15 'Port Sydney', which left Melbourne on 9 November 1917 'carrying 1200 Field Artillery Reinforcements and about 300 of other units' (including elements of the Railway Section and the AFC). It arrived at Southampton on 4 January 1918. Most Australian library records mistakenly give the name of the ship as 'Utopia', taking their cue from an obviously satirical piece on page 22. They could be forgiven for using her previous name, 'Star of England'; it was changed in 1916. Dornbusch 239 (giving the date of publication as 1917); not in Fielding and O'Neill.
