Notes

  • Colour cover art by David Barker of 'Aussie' discarding his uniform and changing into 'civvies' is captioned: Marching order for the new offensive.
  • This issue is concerned with the returned Diggers' perception that they were the victims of civilian merchants. Typical is the comment from Duckboard Harrier (p.11): In France many Diggers suffered from shell shock. Since their return they have been suffering from shell-out shock.
  • Includes a report on the Inter-Allied games in Paris.
