2/13th Battalion - Bayonets Abroad
Fearnside, G.H. (ed.),
Bayonets abroad: a history of the 2/13th Battalion AIF in the Second World War
Swanbourne, WA : John Burridge Military Antiques, 1993.
Originally published in 1953. The editor brings together a collection of accounts by different authors, all members of the battalion, describing different periods and aspects of the unit's history. Includes chapters on the 2/13th's experience of troopships and the work of the battalion's Ladies' Auxiliary. Another chapter pays tribute to Albert Chowne, who distinguished himself with the battalion before going on to win a VC, awarded posthumously, with another battalion.
