Catalogue #184 celebrates the Centenary of the Landing at ANZAC Cove Gallipoli. In the scheme of things 100 years is not a long time. There are still people alive who recall the landing in their lifetime. 100 years for us ‘transplanted’ Aussies is not a long time compared with our indigenous brothers who have been here for over 40,000 years. That number makes even the ancient Greeks and Egyptians seem like newcomers. It’s been a fairly tragic time for the brothers under white occupation. We all wish we could have done it better but short of evoking Wells’s time machine, there is nothing we can do to change what is done. I think they may well be better off under the whiteman than under the Japanese if that had come to pass in WW2. We really don’t realize how traumatic the clash in cultures was in those early days. The remarkable thing is the brothers had no hesitation in trying to sign up for war service in 1914 to fight for their country. Again in 1939, they signed up in large numbers but this time many were not accepted due to poor health and other physical attributes. It’s a pity the Light Horse never signed up all the ringers from the north west who rode horses like they were born in the saddle. Unfortunately, some dill invoked a government rule to say they were ‘too dark for the Light Horse’. And the way they were treated after WW2 in being refused a beer in a pub whilst in uniform is a national disgrace. 100 years ago this April 25th, our keen young soldiers poured ashore at Gallipoli to give Johnny Turk a slap but came away the worst for wear having lost over 6,000 killed in action. And it proceeded to get worse—Fromelles, the Somme, Passchendaele, Poziers, Mouquet Farm, Messines, Mont St. Quentin, Ypres, Flanders and Arras and many more. It was a charnel house, a meat grinder chewing up the flower of our youth. We lost more killed (60,000) than anyone else per capita. So...of course this list is dedicated to those brave young men who failed to make it home and to the many thousands who came back maimed and mad and their still grieving families. We had hoped WW1 was the ‘war to end all wars’ but no, a mere 21 years later we were at it again -WW2. And this one was to become the most destructive war of all times. It wasn’t long before the US and Russia were glaring at each other with nuclear weapons. It will never happen again surely. And no, it didn’t happen because each side saw how devastating it would turn out. The Cold War has held the peace for 70 years—not sure of the future with Iran and Israel.

New end papers, glued or sewn spine, even new boards. The value of rare books can be greatly enhanced if they are restored professionally. ‘Back-yarders’ should desist from attempting to restore books!
