There is a very superficial, small scratch on the front cover, and page references written in biro on the back. The introductory page has a name covered in black texta.The last page has been reattached with acid free tape and the two previous pages are precarious. The rest of the book is solid and unmarked. Parallel text in English and French. "A book produced for the Royal Victoria Regiment to record the events which have led to the very special relationship between Victoria and the people of the Somme region, as a result of Australian courage on the 24/25 April, 1918."
