Scarce in any form & this the rare enlarged & revised edition, issued in printed paper covd. boards with red cloth backstrip & corners. The somewhat controversial author, in 1915 commander of 'Implacable,' describes his ship's role in 29th Div. landing at Cape Helles & the apparently disastrous change in orders to RN ships (which he ignored) to shell the "coastal ridges" instead of the beaches. VG & rare, printed & circulated at the author's expense: this copy inscribed by the author "To Elizabeth P. Hosford from Hughes C. Lockyer Jan. 1937." VG. See illustration on our website.
