Reviews
'This is an impressive book that reclaims the lost inner life of at least some colonial Australians.' History Today
'British Army is a fun, very short book, not so much intended to leave a mark on the research or analysis of Australia's military history, but to promote an idea, a particular vision of the legacy of British imperial history on Australia, and, perhaps, to give historians ideas for future research topics.' Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research
