The complete twelve-volume Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918, written and edited by C.E.W. Bean and published by Angus & Robertson. The most comprehensive account of Australian involvement in the First World War ever compiled, covering Gallipoli, the Western Front, Sinai and Palestine, Mesopotamia, the war at sea, and the campaigns in New Guinea and the Pacific.
The twelve volumes cover:
— Volumes I–VI: The Western Front and Gallipoli (Bean)
— Volume VII: Sinai and Palestine (Gullett)
— Volume VIII: The Australian Flying Corps (Cutlack)
— Volume IX: The Royal Australian Navy (Jose)
— Volume X: The Australians at Rabaul (Mackenzie)
— Volumes XI–XII: Appendices and Index
This set is in used but generally very good condition.
The volumes are mixed editions — 4th through to 11th — which is standard for sets of this age assembled over time, as individual volumes were reprinted at different rates. The content is identical across editions. Contact us on 03 6381 1545 for a full breakdown of which edition each volume is, or for detailed photos, before purchasing.
