1918 was a year of triumph for the Australian Corps in France yet today this is seldom recognised by most Australians. Our perceptions have been clouded by legends, built up over the past century, that have trivialised their achievement. Here an ex-soldier, Pat Beale DSO MC, uses his military background to help re-discover why and how the Corps was so successful and also the reasons their triumph has been ignored. This concise and knowledgeable account will not sit comfortably with everyone. As the author admits, he slaps a number of ‘sacred cows’ on the rump and challenges some deeply held perceptions, but he hopes it will encourage a better understanding of the great victory of those men and how they achieved it.
Now back in Brisbane, John met up with a host of the characters who worked at the saleyards - stockmen, buyers, agents, clerks, butchers, contractors, a stock inspector, a journalist and a market reporter as well as a vendor who sold cattle there in 1933, and recorded all their stories to come up with REMEMBER CANNON HILL, a lively and sometimes humorous record of what really went on out there during the 60 years that the saleyards served the industry. If you have ever had anything to do with Cannon Hill, you or your family might well be in this book, but even if you have never heard of the place, you will have fun finding out about our heritage and what life was like in the those days, as told by the people who were there and who still remember.

I don't know how many forwards start out as a letter, but I figured it would be the best way to get your attention. Im sure many of the books youve read and have added to your collection on Philadelphia history and local greats have had excellent insight to the workings of our fair city.

My dad has a way of giving you just enough information and just enough humor that when he finally finishes his shorts, you just yearn for more.
