About this book
The 28th Battalion of the Australian Imperial Force was raised in Western Australia in 1915, and its first commanding officer, Colonel H. B. Collett, wrote this record of its service. Volume one covers Egypt, Gallipoli, Lemnos Island and the Sinai Peninsula.
The early chapters follow recruiting, hard training near Perth, the march through the city and the voyage that began on 9 June 1915 aboard the Ascanius. Then come the camp at Abbasia, leave in Cairo with visits to the Pyramids, and the move to Gallipoli. A foreword is by the Archbishop of Perth, and the book was issued in Perth through the trustees of the state's public library, museum and art gallery.
