As a member of the 2/43 Battalion, Ninth Division, he served in North Africa for seven months during the siege of Tobruk and later at the battles for El Alamein. After returning to Australia in 1941, his battalion trained in Queensland for jungle warfare before combating the Japanese in New Guinea. This story vividly describes the locations, events, characters and emotions that one infantryman encountered and experienced from the day he signed up to the day he was discharged in 1945. </span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#006600;">188 pages (including index)</span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#006600;"><span style="font-size:85%;">ISBN 0-646-40805-4</span> </span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong></strong></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">CONTENTS</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Foreword</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Ninth Division Organization</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Abbreviations</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Chapter One</strong><strong> - Woodside Army Camp: June – December 1940.</strong></span></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Two - En route to the Middle East: January 1941. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Three - Tobruk: February – March 1941. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Four - Tobruk: April – June 1941. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Five - Tobruk: July 1941. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Six - Tobruk: August – September 1941. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Seven - Tobruk and Palestine: September – December 1941. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Eight - Syria: January – June 1942. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Nine - Ruweisat Ridge (Egypt): July 1942. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Ten - Ruin Ridge (Egypt): July – September 1942. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Eleven - El Alamein: September – October 1942. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Twelve - El Alamein: October – November 1942. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Thirteen - Egypt and aboard Queen Mary: November 1942 – February 1943. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Fourteen - Australia: February – July 1943. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Fifteen - New Guinea: August – September 1943. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Sixteen - New Guinea: October – November 1943. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Seventeen - New Guinea and Australia: December 1943 – July 1944.</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Eighteen - Australia: August 1944 – May 1945. </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Chapter Nineteen - Australia: June – September 1945 .</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Index </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;"></span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;">$20 - includes postage within Australia</span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;">Payment by bank transfer or PayPal </span></strong></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;">To order: </span></strong><a href="mailto:carolellis@adam.com.au"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;">carolellis@adam.com.au</span></strong></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span></p><br /><p align="justify"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#009900;">About Time Publications</span></strong></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2253931300476830467-8014335096724364740?l=volunteerfortheduration.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carol Ellishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14030588383938274693noreply@blogger.com0
