The General Commander-in-Chief of Australian Military Froces writes in this book:
'Jungle Warfare is the fourth book in the series presented by the Australia Army to the people at home during this war. As the title implies, it tells the story of military operations in the ungle and kunai, mountains and swamps of New Guinea. There the terrain and climate gave to the fighting a character of its own unlike anything experienced by Australians previously and never to be forgotten by those who took part in it.'
Most of the items in this volume were received in a competition for stories, verse and black and white drawings - all members of the Australian Army except those of the Military HIstory Section were eligible to enter.
The composition of the Australian Army is illustrated in the end papers.
