New book shooting awards and prize medals to Australian military forces. (Members Notices).This first edition book, limited to 500 copies, spans the period from 1860 to 2000. It is an important reference work for military and family history researchers because of the number of lists of award recipients. It is also important because it includes illustrations and a background history, where known, of many awards, which are not included in any other book. It also explains many other awards in far more detail than in any previous publication. In some cases details of the award are not even available from the issuing authorities. The author has been able to include the information thanks to the assistance of the actual recipients or their descendants. * A4 Size Hard Cover with Gold Blocked Face and Spine, colour Dust Jacket dust jacket n. 1.
