This book has been written by Edward Vidler (1863-1942), a publisher, editor, writer and journalist. He was born in England and was in Geelong in the 1880s where he produced a commemorative volume on that city. He was living in Warrnambool in the early years of the 20th century and was the Secretary of the Warrnambool and District Progress League and the Warrnambool Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He later lived in Melbourne where he edited magazines and published his own and other writings. He was especially interested in the promotion of the arts and was a keen naturalist. He was a foundation member of the group that established the Maranoa Native Gardens in Balwyn, Melbourne. The writer of this book, Edward Vidler, was important in the history of Warrnambool for two main reasons:- 1. In 1907 he initiated and organized the establishment of the Warrnambool Pioneer Honour Board featuring portraits of 204 pioneer men. This board still exists. 2. In 1907 he produced a publication called ‘Warrnambool Past and Present – Sixty Years of Progress’. It celebrated the 60th anniversary of the founding of Warrnambool and contained 88 pages, 120 illustrations and photographs and many advertisements. The publication is noted for its historical accuracy, the way it complements and adds to Richard Osburne’s 1887 history of Warrnambool and its presentation of historical material that may otherwise have been lost. Both of Vidler’s initiatives described above are of the utmost importance in Warrnambool’s history. This is a soft cover book of 270 pages. The cover is green with black printed material on the covers and the spine. The book has a Preface, 24 chapters of text and a Bibliography. There are advertisements for other books on the last page and the back cover. The cover is stained and faded and partly torn in places and some of the inside pages are stained.

"P. & O. Cowper" does not appear in internet research as a known publishing company; it is possible either that none of their work has made its way online, or that they were locals publishing on a small scale capacity. If the latter is true, "P. Cowper" could have been Mr. P. Cowper who participated in forming the Emerald Co-operative Society in 1945. The Emerald Church of Christ operated from 1913 until 1964 on the site (and building) now part of Fernlea Community House. The old post office was on that location from the 1910s until after the Church stopped operating, although by the 1960s there were telephone booths in front of the post office. This image could date from 1913 until the 1950s, although it is likely toward the later end of that range in the 1940s or 50s. This copy was produced in 2006 from the original.This photograph captures two long-standing Emerald institutions from the first half of the 20th century, one of which is no longer in operation and the other which has moved and had its place replaced with an unrecognisable new structure.This black and white photograph is printed on glossy modern photo paper. Its lower margin is occupied by printed text explaining the publisher and the subject matter. The photograph itself centres on two buildings, each constructed from wooden planks with sloped, likely tin rooves. A power pole stands to the right in front of the rightmost building. The ege of a road is visible in the foreground, indicating that this picture was taken from on or across the road. The reverse has printed technical information about the photograph, typical of a digital printed photograph.Obverse: Left, Typed: "Published by P. & O.

Index, ill, p.352.non-fictionIn the dark and uncertain days of 1941 and 1942, when Rommel's tanks were sweeping towards Suez, a handful of daring raiders were making history for the Allies. They operated deep behind the German lines, often driving hundreds of miles through the deserts of North Africa. They hid by day and struck by night, destroying aircraft, blowing up ammunition dumps, derailing trains, and killing many times their own number. These were the SAS, Stirling's desert raiders, the brainchild of a deceptively mild-mannered man with a brilliant idea. Small teams of resourceful, highly trained men would penetrate beyond the front lines of the opposing armies and wreak havoc where the Germans least expected it. world war 1939-1945 - campaigns - north africa, great britain - special air service
