Compiled through a competition among service members, this collection captures the reality of life in the final theatres of conflict, from the jungles of Bougainville to the campaigns in Borneo. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a series of evocative short stories, personal accounts, and eyewitness reports, the book illuminates the soldiers' existence—the harsh conditions of fox-holes, the tension of patrol, the camaraderie amidst struggle, and the long journey home for the wounded. It documents the transition from the brutality of battle to the complex responsibilities of the post-war period, including the surrender of enemy forces and the repatriation of prisoners. By eschewing romanticised views in favour of the gritty, lived experiences of the men and women who served, Stand Easy serves as a testament to their endurance and service. This is a profound historical document that provides an intimate look at the human face of war, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the ANZAC spirit and mid-century military history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsed (good, see images, some yellowing, binding intact but visible in places, handwritten name, some page marking, some page folding, and some initial pages folding)\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN ","brand":"Blue Pigeon Goods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46379531239574,"sku":"tingira34_APG8O55ZX3T1","price":27.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/5189\/4422\/files\/4458_d4a38c89-ab18-4e76-a619-5b31acfa39f5.jpg?v=1778401804","url":"https:\/\/bluepigeongoods.com\/products\/stand-easy-by-the-australian-military-forces","provider":"Blue Pigeon Goods Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
