Gordonvale Wartime Book

The folk down in Gordonvale at the Mulgrave Shire Historical Society have recently published a new book on their wartime history.  The book entitled 'Gordonvale and the 503th Parachute infantry Regiment' was launched at their end-of-year break up meeting at the old Mulgrave Rambler Station to a near capacity audience by local Councillor Steve Brain.  This publication details the progress of the only U.S. Parachute Infantry Regiment to train in Australia from the establishment of a camp outside town and their training through to their interaction with the Gordonvale community.  This volume is an interesting addition to the study of the North's wartime history.  You can purchase a copy from the Gordonvale museum.
