Official Australian Army's History of WW2 ' Greece, Crete and Syria '. First published 1953 and this is that 1st edition. This volume followings the History of the second AIF through Greece , Defeat of Vichy French in Syria , capture of Crete and escapes. Interesting to see that they have used the exact same format as the WW1 Bean History Books - that is giving personal details of soldiers/airman at the bottom of page.

That's a real help with WW2 medal research. Fully indexed, 25+ printed photos and 30+ maps & more. It is interesting to note these Official History of Australia in World War 2 was as a result of representations of C.E.W. Bean. The provisional plan was approved by the War Cabinet in 1943.
