Illustrated card wrapper nominally edgeworn only. Textblock lightly tanned, else unmarked. While convalescing from illness contracted at Gallipoli, former Gippsland, Victoria farmer Sydney Loch (1888-1955) wrote of his experiences of war using a detailed war diary he had secretly kept.

The publisher's second printing carried the note that the work was in fact a true memoir - and immediatley Australian military censors pounced, seizing and destroying all copies and enforcing a long-term ban. The de Vries have brought the story to the modern reader . . . Contents include: Prelims., Introduction. Prologue. Editors' Note. The Straits Impregnable (14 chapters). Epilogue. Endnotes. Acks. Index. Book weight approx. 400g. . First Thus. Softcover`. Very Good +. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
