Campbell source

G'day, I am just trying to locate the full bibliographical details of "Campbell 1987, pp. 296–97". I believe that the reference was added with this edit: [1]. @Euryalus:: are you able to help with this? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 13:31, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AustralianRupert: Wow, that's a while ago! Will have a look around - checking edits either side my first suspicion is it is a typo on my part and should read "Moore 1987" as a reference for this work: John Moore, The First Fleet Marines, University of Queensland Press (1987) isbn 0702220655. -- Euryalus (talk) 18:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, Euryalus, yes that could be it. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 22:29, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have now confirmed that Moore pp.296-297 was the correct reference for these points. Euryalus (talk) 05:03, 31 December 2016

Thanks very much for checking this. I've added it back into the article. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
