Wiley & Sons Australia Ltd. 2003 1st. ed. or.cl. d/w. 8vo. pp.224.
Story of the last Australian survivor from Gallipoli - Landing on the
beach at Gallipoli, aged 16, Alec Campbell looked no more than twelve
in his big brother's uniform. He was a young Australian caught up in a
war that he knew very little about and in a country that he couldn't
spell. For three months, Private Campbell carried water through the
trenches above Anzac Cove avoiding snipers and crossfire. 'The kid
soldier' as he had become known eventually succumbed to enteric fever
and was evacuated to Cairo for a six-month stint in hospital. His sense
of national spirit, however, did not end at Gallipoli. On returning
home, he took on a larrikin life jackarooing, building boats and as a
builder in Australia's new capital. His patriotism and love for others
transported him from the bush to the Australian Workers Union, where he
stood for elections in the local council before working for the
Department of Labour to help repatriate World War II veterans. He also
worked tirelessly for the Heart Foundation until he was 80-years-old.
Alec Campbell epitomises the Aussie larrikin as well as the reluctant
hero. He was the knockabout boy who entered the war for adventure and
ended his life as a national treasure.. Very fine. Price:

Australia's first Victoria Cross winner. illus. with 12 full page
plates t/out. pub. Melb. Oxford Uni. Press 1999 1st ed. or.cl. d/w.
8vo. pp.XII.212. Neville Reginald Howse was the first soldier to be
awarded the Victoria Cross while serving with an Australian unit. In an
action of outstanding gallantry during the Boer War, Howse rode out to
a wounded man, dressed his wound, and carried the man on his back to
safety, under fire all the while. Reaching the shelter of a native
kraal, Howse then operated on the man for a perforated bladder. The
operation was successful, and the casualty survived. In World War I
Howse also served with singular distinction-from Gallipoli to the
Armistice and beyond-as the architect of a massive administrative
overhaul of Australia's medical services. He also contributed
significantly to the successful repatriation of thousands of Diggers.
