Voyage of a World War II troop ship to Australia
A first person diary from a soldier aboard a crowded troop transport in World War II recounts bunked conditions on C-deck, ration raids, and makeshift comforts. The narrative contrasts sardine-can space with hospital blocks, notes blackout rules, and describes a stopover in a Metropolis-like Australian city with American flair and European touches.
