Subaltern, 2/5th Lancs. Fus. in the Ypres Salient in 1917; Floyd recounts the climactic period leading up to the first day of Third Ypres & the attack itself is described in great detail from numerous sources. Apart from the author, the central character is his almost unbelievably unpopular 27-year-old fire-eating CO destined to win the VC, being mortally wounded so doing, on 31st July 1917. Orig. brown cloth, very nice copy, near fine & rare. See illustrations on our website.
£225
