Rare posthumously published memoir in a very limited edition, no. 49 of just 100 copies printed. Good account of the hazards of training a reconstituted 'G' Battery RHA, then to France with the 8th Div. in Oct. 1914; after a few weeks in action at Kemmel he was posted to command a howitzer brigade in 6th Div., served in the Ypres Salient during 1915 & 1916 until posted to the 35th (Bantam) Div. - of which he later wrote the history - on the Somme. Later served with that Division at Arras, Passchendaele, Spring Offensive, Flanders 1918 &c. A very well written personal account containing much of interest. Orig. blue cloth, gilt, VG.
