This 1995 commemorative volume, produced to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II, chronicles the wartime experiences of local veterans, presenting a vivid tapestry of courage, sacrifice, and resilience drawn directly from those who lived through the war on multiple fronts.\n\nCompiled under the auspices of Dr Michael Wooldridge MP, Federal Member for Chisholm, and meticulously edited by Eleanor McCoy, the collection weaves together oral histories, personal recollections, and archival photographs to create an intimate community record of Australia's role in the Second World War. Far from a broad-stroke military history, this volume illustrates the deeply human dimension of global conflict — one neighbourhood, one electorate, countless untold stories — leaving the reader to wonder how many more voices from that generation remain yet to be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160883568859,"sku":"2026100010152-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2f16ecfd-6293-4ec6-b179-a15f27105bf9.png?v=1787187929","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010152-secondhand-searchlight-on-world-war-ii-chisholm-remembers","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
