The Blue and White Diamond – 28th Battalion has been reprinted!

I hope everyone had a great Easter!

We just received some great news ourselves – the “The Blue and White Diamond – 28th Battalion” by Neville Browning has just been reprinted and copies are on the way. Another great Australian military book is now again available.

This book is different from the original in that it has 90 extra photos (290 all up), extra recommendations, over 300 more names written into the chapters and the nominal index. Improved maps and a larger B5 format. 488 pages and a very nice production.

The Blue and White Diamond is a hard covered, cloth-bound, 488-page B5 volume with a laminated new dust-wrapper, containing 290 photographs and 12 maps, as well as many quotes from contemporary diaries and journals of 28th Battalion men. The majority of the photographs, journals and diaries are from private collections. The book includes Nominal Rolls of Officers and Enlisted Men, a detailed Honour Roll, Awards, Citations and Recommendations, and a list of Prisoners of War and their fate and a Nominal Index.
