With 4pp publisher's advertisement at end. A remarkable copy of a Great War classic. Graham was already a well-known writer when he joined the Scots Guards: ''he found much to excite his disgust, first in the methods and language of the instructors at home, and then in the callousness and lack of chivalry which appeared in the field as the War grew old. His description of the Armistice and the march to Germany is a fine piece of writing' (Falls). EXTREMELY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.66; Falls, p.200.
