With a reputation for being frank, hard to discipline, generous to
their comrades and for sticking it up any sign of pomposity,
Australian soldiers were a wild and irreverent lot, even in the
worst of circumstances during World War II. In Larrikins in Khaki,
Tim Bowden has collected compelling and vivid stories of individual
soldiers whose memoirs were mostly self-published and who told of
their experiences with scant regard for literary pretensions and
military niceties. NCOs and officers who were hopeless at their
jobs were made aware of it they laughed their way through the worst
of it by taking the mickey out of one another and their superiors.
From recruitment and training to the battlegrounds of Palestine,
North Africa, Thailand, New Guinea, Borneo and beyond, here are the
highly individual stories of Australia's World War II Diggers told
in their own voices - warts and all.
