Publisher's note: ' This brilliant young Australian authoress worked throughout World War II with the American forces based on Queensland, Australia. During the whole of this association she meticulously diarised her experiences from day to day, and the resultant I Loved Those Yanks constitutes a definite and delightful contribution to the literature of the period. Hitherto, Maureen has confined herself mainly to fairy tale books and children's stories - in which sphere she has displayed remarkable talents and enjoyed outstanding success - but the remembrances of her beloved G.I. comrades, coupled with Australia's lamentable forgetfulness of the great debt she owes to America, finally impelled our authoress to tell the story of the work of many Australian girls with the " Yanks Down Under." Her native wit and humour shine on every page. For obvious reasons, names used in this book are fictitious and bear no resemblance, real or implied, to any person living, or dead. George M. Dash, Publisher.'
