Complete set of the Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-1918
Sydney: Angus & Robertson, 1935-1941. Twelve volumes, large octavos in original maroon cloth with gilt lettering, maps, plates and charts throughout. Occasional light external wear and a touch of flecking, but a most handsome near-fine set with solid and consistent cloth colouration. The last and final volume, being the photographic record of the war, is well preserved. A set of mixed editions dated between 1935 and 1941, when the original publication was re-issued by Angus & Robertson in large numbers at the outset of the Second World War. Charles Bean's history of the Australian army remains a benchmark of military historiography, supplemented here in the full set with the respective volumes on the Royal Australian Navy by Jose and the Australian Flying Corps by Cutlack.
