Operation TROOPLIFT: Postcards from Home is an anthology of short stories, poetry, photography and artwork compiled by members of the Department of Defence. It is a heartfelt gesture from Defence staff to their co-workers and family members deployed on operations overseas, as morale-booster for the troops and a thank you from those back in Australia.
As one soldier on deployment has told us: “we’d read the toilet paper if there was anything on it!”, it is a highly anticipated publication. I am honoured to be the designer of this book.
Phases One and Two: Submissions, Editing and Compilation has now been completed by the editorial team, and almost all the accompanying artwork has been received.
