The Rising Sun (Square the Dink) - Claremont Camp WWI Newsletter 1917-1918, in binder with Aussie Soldiers' Magazine

This binder volume brings together 22 surviving issues of The Rising Sun, also known as Square the Dink, the weekly newsletter produced by soldiers at Claremont Camp, Tasmania's main AIF training camp during the First World War. The issues span from Vol. 1 No. 3 (8 September 1917) through to the final issue, Vol. II No. 7 (14 November 1918), with most complete at four to six pages and one surviving only as its first two pages. Also in the binder is one issue (remnants thereof) of Aussie, the official soldiers' magazine printed in the field on the Western Front — this issue, No. 6, from August 1918.

Specifically the binder contains the following camp-newsletter issues and at least one wartime soldiers' magazine issue (not necessarily in sequential order):
