Hello Digger Dave. Do you have or know where I could access this book?
Record of service : members of the staff of the Sydney Morning Herald and the Sydney Mail who served in the Great War
[Sydney : John Fairfax & Sons, 1919?]
I am after photos of 19th Battalion men. With Thanks
Hi 19th Man Welcome to the forum of Hunter Valley Military History. The State Library in Sydney may have a copy. Perhaps you can do a search on their web page or do a "google" search to locate a copy of it. Unfortunately I do not have a copy in my archival collection. Good hunting! |
