[HMAT 'Euripides']

Homeward on HMT [sic] A14. March, 1918

Sydney, Printed by John Sands Limited, [1918].

Quarto, 94, [2] (thank you note, colophon) pages with numerous line illustrations plus 6 plates (including a full-page colour frontispiece). There is a printed appreciation 'To T. Penleigh Boyd, well-known artist and one-time Sergeant, who contributes the Cover, Frontispiece and many sketches, and to Sapper Powis for other sketches herein'.

Overlapping two-colour card covers with a small-format version of the colour frontispiece illustration mounted on the front panel; occasional signs of age and use; a very good copy.

'A Record of the return to Australia of 1,500 members of the AIF' in February-March 1918. More than the standard fare: the last twenty pages contain the complete nominal roll of the officers and men on board. This copy belonged to one of them: '3112 Sgt. Grinlington, Joseph Vincent' is listed under the 48th Battalion on page 86, and he has written his rank, name and battalion (as well as his name and home address) on the half-title.

Not in Dornbusch; not in Fielding and O'Neill.
