The Kangaroo Marines
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating book cover mounted on a card, featuring a striking illustration by Captain R W Campbell, the esteemed author of "Private Spud Tamson," published by Cassell. This evocative image, which showcases Australian and Allied troops as "Kangaroo Marines," was designed by Private George Barrow, a brave soldier who served in the 6th Battalion of the Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry. Born in Bermondsey, London, Barrow enlisted in Camberwell and lived in Kennington before making the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefields of World War I on August 31, 1917. His grave can be found at the Mendinghem Military Cemetery in Poperinge, West-Flanders, Belgium (Grave Reference Va14). This powerful image of the Kangaroo Marines, created during a time when the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) made a significant impact on the Allied forces, encapsulates the spirit and camaraderie of the soldiers who fought valiantly during the Great War. The design, created by a soldier who was part of the 1st Great Regiments, adds an authentic and poignant touch to this historical artifact. The Kangaroo Marines book cover is a testament to the courage and resilience of the soldiers who served during WWI, and the creative talents that emerged from the trenches. This unique piece of military history is a must-have for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of the First World War.
