Doomed Battalion - the Australian 2/40 battalion 1940-45

		(0 reviews)

The history of the men of Australia's 2/40 Battalion, mainly Tasmanians, and its associated army units, sent to garrison an airfield in Dutch Timor immediately after the Japanese entered the Second World War. Assigned a hopeless military task within a misguided strategy, they were captured a week after the fall of Singapore in February 1942.

Illustrated with a section of black and white photos.

This is an out-of-print book; it is in USED but generally good condition. The pages are quite tanned with age. Please contact the bookshop, Just Tassie Books at The Book Cellar, for additional detailed photos of the actual book and dustjacket and a description of condition.
