'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
