This book is readily available. Alexander Fax in Canberra should have some copies for sale.

Re: 32nd Battalion book
Hi
I actually have a copy of the book in question. It is called 'Second to None - A memorial history of the 32nd Battalion AIF 1915-1919' by R.R. Freeman.
It is a large (A4) hardcover book and tells the story of the 32nd Bn through the eyes of the men via their diaries, letters and reminiscences. I found it a fantastic book and was pretty chuffed to find that my great grandfather had a couple of letters in there and some photos (there are a lot of photos - most of the men I would expect) and even a foldout photo of the remnants of the combined 32nd and 29th at Sars Poteries taken in 19/2/1918.
I'm not sure if you can actually buy it at a bookstore though. I was lucky enough to live in the same city and was able to drop round to his place and pick one up. That was about Febuary this year I think.
