paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that enc…ompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Originally published in 1995 by NAM Publications in Fremantle, Western Australia, the book documents the extensive, frontline medical service of the 2/13th Australian Field Ambulance during the Second World War. This specialized unit was part of the volunteer Second Australian Imperial Force (2nd AIF) and provided critical, forward-line casualty triage and treatment across multiple global theatres of war. Unit Overview & Timeline Formation (November 1940): Raised in Northam, Western Australia. Middle East & North Africa (1941-1942): Deployed to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. They managed Advanced Dressing Stations (ADS) for wounded soldiers returning from the campaigns in Greece and Crete, and supported operations in the Western Desert and the Siege of Tobruk. Home Defence & Darwin (1943-1944): Recalled to Australia due to the Pacific outbreak. They were stationed 30 miles south of Darwin to provide medical care and operate a rest camp at Berry Springs. Borneo Campaign (1945): Staged through Morotai to participate in the OBOE amphibious invasions. They landed at Brunei Bay and Labuan Island, advancing alongside combat units to render aid to troops and local populations until the war ended. Disbandment (December 1945): Formally dissolved after returning home to Australia. Core Themes & Content of the Book: A formal, structural history of the unit with deeply personal accounts. Key elements covered in the book include: The Medical Chain of Survival: Illuminates how field ambulance orderlies and stretcher-bearers risked their lives under fire to evacuate casualties from Regimental Aid Posts (RAP) to Main Dressing Stations. Frontline Anecdotes: Captures the raw, everyday experiences of the medics, from the blistering heat of the Western Desert to the dense, disease-ridden jungles of the Pacific. Nominal Roll: Includes a comprehensive Nominal Roll tracking the names, ranks, and service details of the personnel who served in the unit.

See photos for more information and synopsis. Medics At War by Len McCarthy is long out of print. Because it was a self-published or small-press military unit history printed in limited quantities (first in 1995 and a second printing in 1997 by NAM Publications), new copies are no longer produced. Because it was printed in such low numbers, it is officially classified by Australian antiquarian dealers as a "Rare & Scarce" limited print item. While the exact total print run number is not publicly recorded, Australian military unit histories of this nature from the 1990s typically had very small, tightly controlled print runs of between 200 and 500 copies per printing. Medics at War: An Abridged History and Anecdotes of the 2/13th Field Ambulance (A.I.F.) 1940-1945 is a rare and highly regarded Australian military unit history written by Len McCarthy. First published in 1995 with a prominent second edition printed in 1997 by NAM Publications in Fremantle, Western Australia, the book documents the extensive wartime service and personal recollections of the men who served in this vital Second World War medical unit.(Note: The active service years for this Second Australian Imperial Force unit were 1940-1945, rather than 1950-1945). Overview of the Book: Author: Len McCarthy. Format: Typically found as a 238-page hardcover volume featuring detailed maps, black-and-white illustrations, a comprehensive index, and a unit Nominal Roll listing the personnel who served. Content: It blends official chronological military movements with firsthand anecdotes, capturing the grim realities of battlefield medicine alongside the distinct humour and camaraderie of Australian troops. Availability: The book is a highly sought-after collector's item within Australian military history circles, often commanding premium prices through rare book dealers.
