The Thousand Doors
What the critics said about the last volume in this series : "This is destined to become one of the classic references for Australia’s involvement in WW1. It is not a continuous narrative account of the medical service, nor is it a simple ‘dictionary of biography’ of all those who served. Instead, Robert Likeman has devised a format far more useful than either."
