 | | Whyalla's role in World War II and the deaths of 29 of its citizens serving its country in wartime have been perpetuated in a new book written by former Whyalla resident and now Principal Historian at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, Dr Peter Stanley. |
 | | It is the first history of Whyalla produced by a professional historian and based on a full range of available archival resources in Whyalla, Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra, many of which have never been previously published. |
 | | Whyalla at War 1939-45 will go on sale on Monday, August 16, initially, from the Whyalla Council office and Whyalla Visitor Centre, and through mail order, but it is hoped other retail outlets will also stock the publication. |
