Page Condition: Pages are age-toned/foxed; There's a vertical crease running through the book, consistent with handling. Markings: rubber-stamped inscriptions on cover - appears to be a presentation-type note ( ANZAC'S Welcome... with the Author's Compliments"). Note - copies were given out to visiting American naval personnel (the "American Fleet"), possibly the 1925 U.S. Fleet visit to Australia.
