A comprehensive textual and photographic history of the Australian 7th division which fought with distinction in North Africa, New Guinea and the Pacific in the second World War.

The 7th Australian Infantry Division fought in some of the most famous Australian battles of the Second World War, including Tobruk, Milne Bay, the Kokoda Trail and Buna. Yet from the time of its first campaign in Syria, it had the nickname 'The Silent Seventh' because of a perception among its men that they received less publicity than they deserved. They were right, but by April 1944 this was put to rest when huge crowds turned up to cheer them as they marched through Australia's cities.

Today few people know of the Division's achievements as until now there has been no book devoted to its history. This book fills that gap and will be welcomed by both the general reader and the thousands of surviving members of the Division and their families.

Like That Magnificent 9th, this book is a chronological narrative of the Division's campaigns, with tables showing who led it, how many casualties it suffered, and the honours and awards its members received. The heart of the book, though, is the photographs, more than 200 of them from official and private collections. These propel the narrative forward and are topics of interest in themselves.
