[2/13th Battalion]

2/13 Bn. AIF. 'The Devil's Own'... Third Xmas Dinner Overseas 1942. Menu ...

Small quarto, a menu card featuring the bill of fare and a large illustration by Jno. Marsden on the recto, with the verso left blank for autographs.

Folded across the centre and generally creased and foxed, with moderate signs of handling; a decent copy.

The menu is signed by approximately 65 members of the battalion, shortly after the Second Battle of El Alamein (23 October to 5 November 1942). The 2/13th left Egypt in January 1943, disembarked at Sydney in February, and by August was at Milne Bay in Papua.
