Australian Army Medical Services in the War of 1914-1918 - 3 vols, 2 editions

[seaJane]

Hallo everyone,

I'm having a little trouble with A.G. Butler's Australian Army Medical Services in the War of 1914-1918 .... mostly because I can't work out whether vol. 1 of the second edition came out before vol. 3 of the first edition; and then again because some records have the title given as "The official history of the Australian [etc].

If anyone has a physical copy of either or both/all editions and volumes to hand, I shall be very glad of a Mk#1 Eyeball check of the title page to see how the title begins, and what the date of publication was (that might be on the back of the title page).

Thank you (I hope!) in advance.

Apologies I missed this. So the title of the Series is  THE OFFICAL HISTORY AUSTRALIAN ARMY MEDICAL SERVICES IN THE WAR OF 1914-1918. I use caps because thats as it is printed. Volume one second edition came out in 1938, and volume three came out in 1940. Alas I have only the common copies, not the rare unsigned onea!
