HARDCOVER Relates the experience of the 44th Battalion of the Third Division during 1916-1918. Longmore details their experiences in the Armentieres sector, ‘Plugstreet’, Messines, Broodseinde Ridge, Paschendale, Corbie, Hamel, Bray, and the Somme.

The Bn. was raised in February 1916 and moved to France eight months later. The author claims that one of the Bn’s Lewis gunners did the damage which sealed the fate of the Red Baron, and an appendix is devoted to this episode. The odd title derives from the nickname given to this and other units of the 3rd Australian division which wore the same “fried-egg’ cloth arm flash. A quality facsimile edition.
