The 6th was a household name during World War II. It was the first division raised in the Second Australian Imperial Force, the first division to go overseas and the first to fight. Its success in that fight, in Libya in 1941, indicated that the standard established in the Great War would be continued. General Blamey and nearly every other officer who became wartime army, corps and divisional commanders were once members of the 6th Division. Through photographs and an authoritative text, this book tells their story and the story of the proud, independent and tough troops they commanded. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 10 Australia.|bAustralian Army.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79095437|bDivision, 6th|xHistory. 610 17 Australia.|bAustralian Army.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/535959 647 7 World War|d(1939-1945)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1180924 648 7 1939-1945|2fast 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xRegimental histories|zAustralia. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113913 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 710 1 Australia.|bAustralian Army.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79095437 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJohnston, Mark, 1960-|tProud 6th |z9780521514118|w(OCoLC)269433950 830 0 Australian Army history series.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no00000165 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=592743|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
