Melbourne, H.H. Champion, Australasian Authors' Agency, 1919.

Quarto, 132 pages with a frontispiece illustration (by Lieutenant Will Dyson) plus 34 full-page plates.

The author served with the battalion, and was awarded the MC. In his preface he records that 'Most of the book was written on the Somme at irregular intervals, in dugouts or ruined villages, or beneath that well-known tarpaulin which, in the forward area, served as Quartermaster's Store. The concluding chapters were written in Belgium'.
