Western Front from Jan. 1917, Battles of Bullecourt, Cambrai, March Retreat, Final Advance inc. Drocourt-Queant Line, Havrincourt & the Canal du Nord. Detailed history with roll of officer casualties in the division, wounded & killed, during its entire active service. Orig. black cloth, gilt titles to sps. & divisional symbols to front boards, near fine in dws & rare thus as the cloth used in the binding was not of the best quality & is prone to splitting, the jackets are a scarce survival in themselves & of course they have achieved their purpose in protecting the books. Loosely inserted 17th divisional annual dinner menu, folding card, for dinner held at the Great Northern Hotel, Leeds, 22nd November 1935, & an appealing wartime period real photo. postcard group of approx. 30 officers of various infantry regiments, a number with cuff rank uniforms, several MCs, a few unit flashes showing, several wound stripes, a 'Jock' RSM & pet dog.
