'Alex McQueen enlisted in the First Battalion 1st Brigade of the AIF on 17th August, 1914, at the age of thirty six. He survived the landing at Gallipoli and served 'One hundred and ten days of hell' before being seriously wounded and returned to Australia in September 1915. Alex McQueen's diary is a graphic account of the conditions endured by our soldiers in World War I. ... He makes frequent reference to his fellow soldiers from the Clarence Valley, many of whom did not return from the bloody battlefields as he did.' (Preface)
