Those Sudan Days, Tom Gunning , single work autobiography (p. 27-30)
Note: Editor's note: Tom Gunning's memoir of the Sudan was not published until 1947, in As You Were, a collection of military yarns produced by the Australian War Memorial. Gunning recalls the public fervour that accompanied the NSW contingent's embarkation in Sydney, implying it was not matched by the response that greeted the men upon their return. As another veteran of this ill-conceived expedition dryly observed: 'Our reappearance in Australia with unbroken ranks was thought to be inconsistent with the due achievement of glory'. When he died in 1949 Gunning left a bequest to be used for the erection of a memorial by Circular Quay to commemorate the departure for North Africa. Gunning also fought in the Boer war.
