This book is about the 11 young men killed in the armed services in World War II who had studied some law subjects at the University of Queensland in the 1930s and early 1940s. Most of them studied in the BA (law) degree course but several went on to do an LLB and, in a few cases, to be admitted to practice of law as well. Some of them did not get to finish their degree as they went to war but they are included as they all were part of the UQ cohort doing law studies. They were all killed between 1942 and 1944. Nine of them were in the Air Force and one of them a submariner and they were all gifted adventurous men who volunteered in time of war. The University and the author consider that they owe it to them to record their lives and some detail about their families and this book is dedicated to that end.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
