Description:
'Haven't lost the sand, dust, flies or fleas yet, but have had them for so long now they seem part of us’ – 12 August 1941, Tobruk
When Tom ‘Diver’ Derrick enlisted in the Second Australian Imperial Force on 5 July 1940, he was a 26-year-old labourer with no great prospects. By the end of 1944, he was a national hero who had risen from humble private to become a twice-decorated officer in the 9th Division’s 2/48th Battalion. On the jungle-clad heights of Sattelberg in New Guinea, he spearheaded the capture of seemingly impregnable Japanese defences, winning the Victoria Cross.
The diaries Derrick kept throughout his five gruelling campaigns, from Tobruk to Tarakan, are among the most important writings by any Australian soldier. His intelligence, humour, ambition and fighting outlook shine through these diaries and his other wartime correspondence and interviews, published here for the first time in their entirety.
Edited and annotated by Mark Johnston, one of Australia’s leading authorities on World War II, Derrick VC provides unprecedented insights into the mind and extraordinary career of one of Australia’s most decorated and renowned servicemen.
'Australia's leading World War II historian reveals Australia's most intriguing Victoria Cross winner – an enticing and informative pairing!' —Professor Peter Stanley

Great bag – very durable
Color: Colourful Flowers in Black
Bought this to replace an existing computer bag that I use for college. I typically hold a lot of stuff and my bags become heavy. This bag holds up! Carries a lot of stuff, including my standard laptop, a few books, etc. It also has a zipper area to put things I need to find easily. Style and design also very cute. Honestly, a great bargain.

love the colors
Color: Blue Flowers
I love the colors on this bag, and the size is big enough for me to put my normal purse stuff in plus pack my lunch in it, and there are 2 drink holders on the ends. It seems made from waterproof material. Although I thought it was canvas when I ordered, and I thought it had a padded computer pocket. That isn't true. But I was looking at so many tote bags, I may have gotten them confused in my head. But it seems really well made and there is plenty of room in the bag if you have a padded computer sleeve for your laptop and then place it in the bag.

It’s a Nice Big Bag!
Color: Blue Flowers
I bought this bag for my mom as a Christmas present and she loves it. She’s a big purse lady, so it is the right size for her. It has all the pockets in the right places and she loves the pretty floral design.

Love the style and Multi pockets!
Being a traveling float Phlebotomist for a very large company I need a bag that is extremely well-made holding my schedules.. my books, my PPE outfit, and all other essentials I need for my position. This bag is definitely the one very well-made, multi pockets more than enough room for everything that I need to carry all my equipment for me… to each job. Definitely would recommend this to anybody who travels in their job. Definitely purchased from this company again. Shipping was very fast and the product is in my eyes perfect.!
