Price: £40.00
8vo., Seventh Impression, with 84 and full-page map in the text, neat inscription on front free endpaper; blue cloth, backstrip lettered in black, a very good, bright, clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed and taped at extremities, and with long closed tear on front panel.
The first account of the famous action, written shortly after the battle and remarkably well illustrated given the restrictions of the time (many of these photographs have not since been republished). Due to wartime production methods, it is difficult to find in really good condition. Enser, p.191; Law, 0115.
