Beyond Adversity book. 'U' Company, 15th Battalion 1941-1942 In November 1941, about 100 university students began their short-term compulsory military training with the 15th Infantry Battalion. Most were aged 19-22, had daytime jobs and were evening or external students from the arts, commerce and law faculties. They were ambitious, hard-working young men anxious to make their way in the world. Their compulsory military training was due to end on 4 February 1942 and the students would then be released to return to their jobs and continue their part-time studies. The outbreak of the Pacific War on 7 December changed everything. In April 1942, the 15th Battalion was given 24 hours' notice to move from Caloundra to Townsville. In January 1943 the Battalion went to New Guinea to take part in the Salamaua and Lae campaigns and did not return to Brisbane until July 1944. In November it was sent to fight in Bougainville. The Battalion finally returned home in January 1946. After the war, most returned to resume their studies and jobs within the community. While the army saw these men as best employed as infantry soldiers, the summary of their later lives is populated with professors, managing directors and chief executive officers, lawyers, doctors and captains of industry. Count the numbers who have received an honour or award or have been decorated for their extraordinary achievements and the proportion is simply staggering. This book tells the story of those Queensland University students of 'U' Company, 15th Battalion during its brief existence. It covers their wartime service in all its tragedy and triumph and how they resumed their lives, studies and careers once the war was over. Most regard themselves as being very fortunate - to have survived the war, to have learned to cope with adversity, to have learned the importance of getting on with life in spite of insurmountable obstacles and in having been able to make the most of opportunities that arose. They have been fortunate to find a life beyond adversity. Written by William Park. Hard back 384 pages.

Great product but screws are annoying
Size: 6 pairs
These 24K gold-plated banana plugs are a solid choice if you’re looking for an easy and reliable way to connect your speaker wire. The connectors feel sturdy, and the gold plating gives them a clean, professional look while also helping prevent corrosion. Installation was straightforward — the wire slots fit snugly, and once tightened down, the connection feels secure. I used them for both my home theater and stereo setup, and the sound quality is clear with no noticeable interference or loss. The pack includes 6 pairs (12 plugs), which is plenty for most speaker setups, and they fit my receiver and speaker terminals perfectly. My only small complaint is that the screws could be a bit tighter or smoother when clamping the wire — you just need to make sure they’re seated properly to get the best hold. Still, once installed, they stay firmly in place.

Works great with all speaker wires
Size: 6 pairs
It works pretty well with standard and thin speaker wires. It makes so much easier to plug and unplug speaker wires. Color coded makes it easier for future. Banana plugs are worth. Double screws ensure wires remain securely attached. Screws are bit too tiny and had to run to the store to get one of those fine tip screw driver though.
