Full title: The Old Campaigners: Commemorating the Role of the Waler Horse, Camels, Mules and Donkeys Used by the Australians and New Zealanders at War by Jill Mather

In the sequel to Forgotten Heroes: The Australian Waler Horse, new information on the fate of the Waler in World War 2 is provided. Also included are lesser-known details about the allied forces in Australia during World War II and their role in using and providing suitable animals.

The much under-rated mules and donkeys are remembered, in addition to the camels which played a vital role in warfare. Thousands of these animals trekked through the mud and slush of France hauling the big guns and carrying supplies. Likewise, they were an essential part of desert warfare and went about their tasks with courage and resilience, so often badly wounded, but struggling on, delivering vital supplies.
