About this Item

173 pp. The original was only published in 1979, so permission was given for the I.W.M. to run this reprint. The author's life story is briefly told in the dust jacket.

This has never been read, but stored in dry and warm conditions, so is in perfect condition. The only reason it is not listed 'as new' is because the first owner embossed their name on the title and contents page, though this is barely noticeable and does not cover any text. (See scans).

He joined the Queens Own Royal West Surrey Regiment before transferring the the Machine Gun Corps. he enlisted in 1914 at the age of 16 having told his real age and being told by the recruiting sergeant to "go home and come back tomorrow when you're 19". He served a full four and a half years.
