Two volumes containing a carbon copy of personal writings and diary entries (1940-1941) recorded by QX6366 Major General Allen Brooke of the 2/33 Battalion during the Second World War. Padre Brooke was Chaplain General of the United Churches during the Second World War, a position he still held post-war in 1962.
