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.

British sealer John Scott arrived in Bass Strait in 1806 and had children with at least three Tasmanian Aboriginal women, fathering at least nine children before drowning off King Island in 1843. Scottish-born David Howie, appointed Constable of the Straits, patrolled Bass Strait and King Island; in 1845 he played a key role in the aftermath of the Cataraqui disaster. This book traces the lives and Tasmanian Aboriginal descendants of both men, drawing together family trees, John Scott's own diary, and the wider Bass Strait sealing community of the 19th century.
