Notes relating to the First World War and Second World War service of Major-General James Murdoch Archer Durrant, [date unknown].
This file contains notes written by James Murdoch Archer Durrant that largely pertain to a selection of major and minor operations during the First World War. Notes on his experiences with the 4th Infantry Brigade consist of short but often revealing remarks for a period spanning embarkation from Australia to the evacuation from Gallipoli. In contrast, his notes on operations including the Attack on Stormy Trench, Battle of Arras and First Battle of Bullecourt are much longer and more formal compositions written primarily from the perspective of a commanding officer.
