Gun Buster was the pseudonymous author of a series of novels about the British exploits in World War II.
Freda Barrymore, reviewing his book, Return via Dunkirk, in the Townsville Bulletin, said: His book Battle Dress consisted of a series of sketches relating to the British army in France and Dunkirk.
[5] The Sydney Morning Herald reviewer stated: In a 1946 review, W. J. Hurlow of the Ottawa Citizen lauded Gun Buster's books as "the work of a skilled writer gifted with powers of observation and description amounting almost to genius", and found the latest in the series, Zero Hours, "a series of incidents in the desert wars", to be "quite on a level with the author's depictions of battle scenes on other fronts".
[7] Reviews of Gun Buster's fourth book, Grand Barage were also generally positive.
The reviewer in The Mercury commented: Several Australian newspapers and magazines reprinted large segments of his book Return via Dunkirk and Battle Dress in weekly instalments.
