I'll never again say no Army, etc is ever thorough. This US Services briefing manual is about as thorough as it gets. Particularly for 1944.
http://www.archive.org/download/AustraliaOurNeighbordownUnder/australia.pdfWould love to know who put this together. Sounds like he spent some time here beforehand. He even picked up on the 'Work or Fight'** policy. Also like the yarn he opens with:
"......the American, discovering that the woman across the table in the diner was an Australian, immediately said, "But wherever did you learn to speak English?".
** ".....When some strikes occurred, the government decided that strikers, or employers who provoked a strike, were to lose their deferred or protected status and be called up instantly by the draft officials. "Work or fight!" became the policy of a Labor government."
