35th Battalion AIF: 'The Log of the Lunatic Ship Vol. 1-4' Printed at sea: H.M.A.T. 'Borda': [1916]. |
The first issue has a decorated front wrapper, the others, drop titles, and are of pp. 8, 4, 6, 4. Vol 1 is stamped 'A.I.F. Passed by Censor', numbers 2-4 are printed as 'Registered as a Newspaper at Father Neptune's Court' and as 'A paper printed out at sea /To wile an hour for you and me'. While generally light-hearted, with plenty of examples of quotable, peculiarly Australian humour and preoccupation with sporting results, the magazine makes very clear the appalling behaviour of troops on leave at ports of call, 'the uncontrolled, mad drinking' which is 'taken as a national characteristic'. Loosely included is a small snapshot (image 60 x 36 mm), inscribed in pencil on its verso 'Gordon Gray' - 'Jim and I (?) on the old Borda A.30'. The 'Lunatic Ship' is named the A30 on page 4 of No. 4. Also included is 'Eightieth Anniversary. Proclamation Day South Australia, 28th Dec. 1836-1916: Toast List' subscribed H.M.A.T. 'Borda', North Atlantic, 2.30 p.m., 28th Dec., 1916., as well as a page of pencilled diary notes upon arrival in London - unsigned and of no particular significance. Generally condition is good; the issues have been folded horizontally and/or vertically; there are a few marginal short tears. Page 3/4 of number 3 is torn in half horizontally and has signs of use but is complete. |

Preces and Exercises |
(no place: no imprint) Five volumes of roneoed or otherwise duplicated material concerning ‘Allied Land Forces in SWPA Mar 1942 to Aug 1945’.

Vol. 2 Preces: Japanese Army Organisation. Amphibious Warfare. Organisation and Tactics. Map Reading, Field Sketching and Direction Finding. Air Photograph Interpretation.

Vol. 5 ‘D’ Wing – Preces and Exercises Complete: Field Security Course; Enemy Equipment Course. Malay Language Course. A complete Table of Contents prefaces each volume. The introduction of Colonel E. Mander-Jones, Deputy Director of Military Intelligence, elucidates the rationale behind the production of this compilation – namely, the need for an historical record of the activities of the School and at the same time the need to provide aid in the ‘conduct of Intelligence courses in the post-war army and …[to] form a basis on which the School may be started again with a minimum of difficulty if ever the need arises’. In this massive compilation (the foolscap sheets approx 340 x 210 mm and, including covers, extending to approx 260 mm along a shelf) are included numerous charts, diagrams maps and tables, furnishing insights into the war as it was being waged. In Vol. 2, among the most interesting folding insert is a large folding illustration of ‘Japanese Landing Craft’ showing ten such craft, listing the characteristics of each and what Intelligence believes to be the role and capacity of each. Mander-Jones’s own copy which was presumably used in work with the Adelaide University Regiment, the stamp of which appears on the verso of the front board of Vol. 1. A little marginal silverfishing to a few leaves and some fraying to leading edges; generally in very good to near fine order. |
