Books
I recently finished my annotated version of the wartime writings of Tom 'Diver' Derrick. This book now has a publisher, NewSouth, who did an excellent job on An Australian Band of Brothers. Due for release for Anzac Day 2021. You can get a taste of this book in an article - 'In his own words' - that appeared in the Australian War Memorial magazine Wartime, Issue 91, Winter 2020. I am currently writing a book about Australian soldiers whose courageous acts made a difference in World War II. Tentative title: Australian Acts of Bravery: Stories of Australian Courage in World War II.

In 2020 I am continuing to work on short biographies of all Scotch Collegians and staff who served in the First World War and were neither killed nor decorated.
Public appearances
In February 2020 I presented a paper at a conference on the Second World War in Wellington, New Zealand.
