An Anzac's War Diary: The Story of Sergeant Richardson edited by A D Bell

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly tail edge. The dust jacket has creasing on the top and tail edges. Tear at the tail right front cover is now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Here is a first-hand account of war as seen through the eyes of a young Australian soldier. Thomas Willian Victor (Vic) Richardson enlisted in 1915 and, against army regulations, kept small pocket diaries until his return to Australia in 1919.

He has faithfully captured the various moods of the frontline soldier - the mateship and adventure of training and overseas travel, the horror of battle and the unreal world of leave.
