Selections from fourteen volumes of diaries, with illustrations by Donald Friend, bear witness to his deep frustration with the boredom of Brisbane camp life 'a stupid khaki hell' where he was a gunner during the war years. The book is generously illustrated with Friend's character drawings in line, pen and pencil. Tucked inside this book is a small nugget an inserted newspaper clipping from the Melbourne 'Age' in 1946 where a critic bemoans, 'Excellent art book, almost ruined by vapid prose scribblings'. Very good in good dustwrapper chipped along edges and missing a small piece from the crown of the spine. Seller Inventory # 49449
