“In brief, it is a serious collection of songs presented as shared vocal entertainment by men of the Australian services, students, smoke-room and sporting club gatherers etc.  between the years of, say, 1940 and 1960.
It is a book with a humour and satirical bawdiness of an old school – full blooded, gutsy and with all the subtlety of a wrecker’s iron ball.”
