ANZAC MEMORIAL BOOK, Alfred George Stephens (editor), published by The Returned Soldiers Association, Sydney, 25 April 1917, second edition 1916, board cover, 512pp with 13 vignette illustrations and 49pp of illustrations, 9 small maps, and a 214pp Roll of Honour of Soldiers & Sailors, Officers and Men of the AN&MEF and AIF, who Died on Service and Missing from August 4th, 1914 to February 8th, 1917 including casualties prior to embarkation and casualties subsequent to embarkation but prior to hostilities in the Dardanelles. Book title printing faded on spine, the first few pages fragile at spine, also some paper loss at edges to first few pages, names written on back cover, one page with crease done during publication and some other pages with corner creases, a few spots of foxing but overall a good specimen of this very scarce book.

The listing of all casualties and missing is recorded by unit and includes categories for Killed in Action, Wounded and Missing, Missing, Died of Wounds, and Died of Other Causes. The book also features photos of Victoria Cross recipients with brief details of their action and photos of various recipients of DSO, MC, DCM, MM, and photo Gallery of Honour of 180 officers and men.
