A Superior Body of Men (Hardcover)

This book is the culmination and encapsulation of many years of research through archival repositories and other record sources both in the UK and Australia. It adds further biographical information to the history of the military pensioners who were either discharged in the Colony of Western Australia, came as guards on the convict transports, or immigrated freely to the State. Its contribution to the historical narrative is that it answers the question many family historians ask: what ship did my military pensioner arrive on?
