green_acorn Posted 26 July , 2014 Share Posted 26 July , 2014 Mike, I don't know why they expended the effort on scanning that Mike, both the WW1 and WW2 histories are online at http://www.awm.gov.au/histories/ Cheers, Hendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 26 July , 2014 Share Posted 26 July , 2014 Yeah, not sure why it's the only volume, maybe more to follow? I think i prefer the archive.org version/reader etc, all the same. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteStarLine Posted 27 July , 2014 Share Posted 27 July , 2014 It is a useful resource. While the entire history can be downloaded from the AWM site, this volume alone represents 30 downloads of text only chapters. Mike's is the full book, with illustrations and the occasional colour overlay on the maps. In these broadband days, 60 MB is not much. I'm just re-reading Pozieres and having the photo of Gibraltar interposed with the description of taking it is a plus. Well worth a download. Thanks, Mike.

green_acorn Posted 28 July , 2014 Share Posted 28 July , 2014 Mike and WSL, Good points and I agree, as a proper scan far better than the poor AWM monochrome scans. I would suggest the reason it is apparently the only volume at the Pennsylvania Library is because it is the only one that relates to US Army involvement with the AIF in the war.

WhiteStarLine Posted 28 July , 2014 Share Posted 28 July , 2014 Hendo, that would be the 1918 volume, not this one (1916)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin spof Posted 28 July , 2014 Admin Share Posted 28 July , 2014 The scan date on this volume is 11th March this year. Given the size of the books and the fact it is done by volunteers, there could be other volumes being done now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartH Posted 28 July , 2014 Share Posted 28 July , 2014 Hopefully there are more since this is the whole book to the be downloaded in one gone, compared to chapter by chapter on the AWM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
