Melbourne, Albert J. Mullett, Government Printer, 1920.

Quarto, 72 pages with 37 illustrations (after sketches by John Charles Goodchild).

Purple wrappers lightly marked; staples a little rusty; light creases where the item was folded for mailing (a 1921 Redfern postmark is on the rear wrapper); a very good copy.

Not least, an early work illustrated by John Charles Goodchild (1898-1980), the South Australia artist and art educator. 'In 1913 the family emigrated to South Australia, where young John worked as a signwriter before enlisting in the First AIF in 1917, and served as a stretcher bearer with the 9th Field Ambulance in France, where he was wounded in 1918. While recuperating in hospital he made a series of sketches for the Army field paper "Digger". After the war he was commissioned by the Australian Government to produce a series of thirty six pen drawings of war graves for the book "Where Australians Rest", published in Melbourne 1920' (Wikipedia).

Dornbusch 155; not in Fielding and O'Neill.
