Descrizione

8vo., Eleventh Edition, with folding coloured map as frontispiece and 9 other maps (a number folding); handsomely bound in full dark red crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands, second and fourth compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt, gilt top, hand-made endpapers, ribbon marker, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. A classic account of the Old Contemptibles, and arguably the introduction of the Western Front to the British public. 'Even today it is not to be despised, for it contains many episodes and recollections not to be found in later histories and is written with force and point' (Falls). This edition includes six additional maps and an index. Enser pp. 58, 129; Falls p.38.
