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.

Best fluffy but firm pillows
Size: King(Pack of 2), Size: King(Pack of 2)
These pillows are worth every penny! They started off pretty flat but after three days they plumped up well. In addition to them being plump, they are also firm. Exactly what I was looking for. You can shake up the internal stuffing if you want them softer too. They were a bit pricey but I’m going to repurchase and replace all my home pillows with these. I do sleep hot and the cooling side is perfect to lay on. Kept me cool and comfortable. I haven’t had any neck or back pain after switching to these pillows too. Absolutely recommend these for your home. The photo shows how full the pillows are. I have four pillows in the picture plus two smaller other brands. These are definitely fluffier.

I am absolutely obsessed with these pillows! They have the perfect balance of firmness and softness, providing amazing support for my head and neck. I've never slept better, and I can honestly say I'd order more in a heartbeat. These pillows are a game-changer for my sleep quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the ultimate comfort.

Worth it!
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are amazing and very soft and comfortable. They came nicely packaged and I let them sit out for just a few hours before using them and that was plenty of time! They come with the cooling cover and fit a standard queen sized pillowcase. The material expands well and does not have any weird smells. 10/10 well worth the price.

Miracle pillow
Size: Standard(Pack of 2)
Best pillow I’ve ever had. I have been using this since December 2024 and it still hasn’t gotten flat. It is amazingly comfortable and solves all my neck issues for a side sleeper. My head never gets hot either. I’ve recommended this to my friends and they’ve had success with it as well.

Really wanted to love these
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I really wanted to love these but they gave me a stiff neck. I haven't slept with a pillow since buying these. They are firm except where you lay your head. It just deflates there. I expected it to sink in to match the curve of my neck but it was more than I could handle. My head ended up in a valley between the two ends of the pillow. The price was good, zipper worked fine, it looks as advertised and the pillows are good quality. The cooling part works, its just not what I needed.
