Across the Sea to War

Author(s): Peter Plowman

SECONDHAND BOOKS | MILITARY HISTORY

Australia and New Zealand have a proud record of sending troops overseas to fight for Great Britain when conflicts have arisen over the years. This book chronicles the transporting of these troops by ship to overseas destinations, starting with the Sudan Campaign in 1865. The majority of the book covers troops conveyed in WW2.

2003. First edition. A near fine copy only marked by very minor bumping of the corners of the wraps.
