The Second 43rd Australian Infantry Battalion, 1940-1946

Swanbourne, John Burridge Military Antiques, 1992 [corrected facsimile edition]/ 1972.

Large octavo, xviii, 286 pages with 11 maps and diagrams plus 84 plates and endpaper charts.

Papered boards slightly bumped at the extremities; a near-fine copy with the slightly creased (ill-fitting) dustwrapper.

Pages 283-285 (with two illustrations) are new to this edition, as is the 'Preface to the Re-print, 1992' at the foot of page xvii. It is written by one of the original authors, Gordon Combe, as President of the 2/43 Battalion AIF Club Inc. He points out that this is 'not a re-write of the 1972 edition. However, an invitation was issued to unit club members to point out any errors of fact or errors of omission; the response has ensured a greater degree of accuracy in the text and appendices in a number of places'. Unfortunately, these amendments and additions have not been identified in this edition.
