Description

The Desert Column : Leaves from the Diary of an Australian Trooper in Gallipoli, Sinai, and Palestine. By Ion L. Idriess. With a Foreword by General Sir Harry Chauvel. Commander, the Desert Mounted Corps.'This record of the campaign in Sinai and Palestine during the first World War is by a famous Australian writer who spent three fateful years on those fronts. Ion Idriess's reputation has long been established as a writer who can vividly present to the mind of the reader both incident and scene. Although the actions chronicled in this book took place many years ago those who read it will feel that they too are experiencing those dangerous and stirring events. The Desert Column is not, however, purely a chronicle of war experiences. The personality and humour of the Digger are revealed in many an anecdote of life behind the firing line, and celebrated in our literature is implicit in these pages.' The dust jacket has medium general wear with rough edges and small tears but now covered with protected clear covers. Price has been clipped. The book has tape ghosting from the removal of an old library type clear cover and the binding is becoming lose with the cloth showing through the pastedown pages. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page.
