They Simply Fade Away
John Alexander Williamson, 1886 - 1971, was born at Bonnyrigg, Scotland and emigrated to Australia in 1911. His life as a migrant, struggling to get a start, is detailed in an appendix to this book. Williamson enlisted in the AIF in 1916, on his second attempt, and served in the 48th Battalion in France. As many other Westralians did in the tween wars years, Williamson tested his writing skills in The Western Mail columns.

Other items are held in the Battye Library as Acc. 5084A, MN 1654. --Publisher description.
