The Decades Of A Duntroon Bastard is Godfrey Robinson’s candid 1980 hardcover memoir of life as a Royal Military College graduate turned Army officer, tracing his path through Australian military history from the 1930s to post-war resettlement. Robinson’s sharp eye for detail and self-deprecating humour give this autobiography its enduring appeal among collectors of true military stories and biographies.
This first edition arrives with its original dust jacket, now showing small chips, tears and water marks that testify to decades of careful reading. Inside, the pages remain crisp and unmarked—no writing, dog-ears or tears—while the binding is tight and square; only light foxing and edge discoloration hint at the book’s forty-plus years on the shelf.
Ideal for historians, young adults or any reader hunting a gritty, first-hand account of Australian military life, this smoke-free copy balances honest wear with readability. Add a piece of Duntroon heritage to your history, warfare or historical biography collection today.
