The Battalion Story: Written & Compiled by Lt. Col. Ron Magarry M.C.
Also the content of the book explains the popular misconception that the Malayan Campaign achieved little or nothing in stopping the Japanese from invading Australia.
The story deals with a brief but important part of our history, by covering the main activities of a Queensland Unit and the experiences of the fourteen hundred men who served in the 2/26th Infantry Battalion and the part they played in the making of that history.
It covers the training days in Australia and overseas, their achievements during the Campaign and their loyalty, suffering and sacrifices as Prisoners of the Japanese. An overall readable experience, which I believe, will clarify many "grey areas" and fill many gaps.
The Battalion Story - 318 page soft cover book. Price $33.95 including postage & packaging.

The Battalion Story deals with events leading
up to the War in Malaya and Singapore, briefly giving information not
previously available to the general public. It will be a surprise to
many, particularly the younger generations, to learn the extent of the
conflicts and battles fought between the Allies and Japanese Forces, prior
to the Fall of Singapore.

A Mug From The Bush by Nev Anning
Nev has lead a very diverse life style from splitting posts-and-rails. to cane cutting, to owning and running a diversity of business including poultry abattoir, piggery to breeding and showing Paint horses.
Nev enlisted as a member of the 2/26 Battalion, but later in Singapore transferred to the Defence Platoon - 27th Brigade Head Quarters. Although his Army life was important, it is covered in proportion to the rest of his life in the book.
Nev is a typical "Bushie" and I am sure you will enjoy many chuckles whilst reading this book. Also included are several tributes and pages of POW poems.
300 page soft cover book Price $25.00 including postage & packaging.
