Description

Horrie The Wog Dog. With the A.I.F. in Egypt, Greece, Crete and Palestine. Written from the diary of Private VX13091. J. B. Moody by Ion L. Idriess. 'This is the story of Horrie, who was found in the Western Desert and became a true Digger. It has been put into its present form by Ion L. Idriess, who had it from the diary of Horrie's master, Pte J. B. Moody of the 2/1st Machine Gun Battalion, and from others of his friends. The tale of Horrie's adventures in the Army compel the reader's laughter and admiration from stsrt to finish. Whether he is in Greece and Crete, sharing the sufferings of his friends with unfailing courage and devotion, or indulging in epic brawls and amusing love-affairs, Horrie remains the same faithful, absurd, pugnacious, and lovable little character. Needless to say, all his travelling - even his final trip to Australia - was unofficial; and the efforts of his friends to conceal him and his own reaction to the surprising situations in which he finds himself are a constant source of entertainment.' The dust jacket has much wear but now has a clear protective cover fitted and price is unclipped. The book has medium general wear but remains tight and bright.
