The unit history of the 48th Battalion AIF in the First World War, written by W. Devine and published in 1919 — in the immediate aftermath of the war, making this a near-contemporary record rather than a later retrospective history. The 48th Battalion was raised in South Australia and Western Australia in 1916 as part of the 12th Brigade, 4th Division AIF, and served on the Western Front through major engagements including Pozières, Bullecourt, Dernancourt and the Hundred Days Offensive of 1918.
A local Tasmanian family history from 1966, republished in 2023 to celebrate the bicentennial of the Thomas family arriving in Van Diemen's Land in February 1824.
