'Morning Listers, Can anyone tell me how I could get hold of a copy of: Lee, J. E. (Joseph Edward), A brief history of the 45th Battalion, A.I.F., 1916-1919 ([Sydney] : 45th Battalion Reunion Association, 1962) Researching Lt James Sutter TERRAS, native of Lanarkshire, Scotland, who emigrated to Australia some time between 1905 and 1915 and worked as a schoolmaster in Hornsby, NSW. He enlisted in the 45th Infantry Battalion on 15 Nov 1915. Killed in action near Albert on 28th March 1918. Any info on James or the book would be gratefully received.

David You said "He enlisted in the 45th Infantry Battalion on 15 Nov 1915." From Bean's volume III, it said that the 45th was raised from the 13thBn in Feb/March 1916. So it is likely that he left Australia as a reinforcement for the 13th Bn which was part of the 4th Bde, Ist Div. With the reorganisation the 45th was created and became part of the 12th Bde of the 4th Div. You may need to look at about pp 40-45 of Volume III to get an overview of this reorganisation. Is it worth asking your local Library to do a search to see if the book is in one of the Military Libraries in the UK? If he was from Scotland, he may have been a teacher at Knox College, rather than the Government school system.
