This engaging book was compiled in France in 1919 and therefore has the freshness and immediacy lacking in some unit histories. The Bn. was formed in March 1916 in Egypt. It comprised a draft from the 16th Australian Inf. Bn. (survivors from Gallipoli) and fresh drafts from Australia. Three months later the newly constituted Bn. was in action at Pozieres as part of the 12th Inf. Bde., 4th Aust. Div. It suffered heavy losses at Bullecourt, but went on to serve at Passchendaele and in the defence of Amiens in 1918. Its last action was at Bapaume, in September 1918. In total, it suffered 2676 casualties, of which 840 were fatal. Includes Roll of Honour & Honours and Awards.
