Description
Winston Churchill once described the part-time soldier as "twice the citizen".In this easy to read but factual account of the 9th Battalion, The Royal Queensland Regiment, author Rod Hamilton has told the story of the soldiers and their service that shaped the Battalion.In his Foreword to the book, 9th Battalion icon, Brigadier Peter Smith MBE RFD ED, states, inter alia, "the narrative is enriched by the telling of the service and performance of various private soldiers, NCOs, Warrant Officers, RSMs and commissioned officers who in their own way helped form the character and identity of the Battalion".This book will complement the library of the serious military history student as well as that of the casual reader.
