EDITORIAL NOTES |
|
| AS YOU WERE 1949 continues the service rendered by its predecessors. Its aim is to recall and to record the courage and humour, the boredom and the achievements, the travel and adventure, deeds and misdeeds, and, above all, the good comradeship of the Services during the war years.
The book is the work of Service and ex-Service men and women. The views expressed are those of the writers themselves.
Without their help the book could not have been produced, and their collaboration is gratefully acknowledged. |

| Literary and art responsibility has largely rested with Tom Hungerford and Frank Norton respectively. Raymond O'Malley, Harold F. Ward and Charles A. Monticone have also rendered valuable service. The executives and staff of Halstead Press Pty. Ltd. have, as in the past, been unsparing in their efforts to produce a book of the finest quality. The assistance of all of these is also
gratefully acknowledged. Amongst those who read this book there will be many who have yarns of their own to tell. They are invited to send contributions to the Director, Australian War Memorial, Canberra, for consideration for use in future volumes. THE EDITOR |
