FIRST EDITION, pp. 288, crown 8vo, original black cloth, backstrip lettered in yellow, lean to spine, a couple of patches of discolouration to cloth, faint partial browning to free endpapers, dustjacket chipped at extremities, backstrip panel a little browned, good. A 'sincere attempt', sometimes a sardonic one, to record his ex…periences as a soldier in France; Burrage was an established author, but professes to have here given his 'literary style [.] a half-holiday' in the pursuit of truth - this also the basis for the pseudonym (which was nevertheless retained for a collection of ghost stories the following year following the success of this work).
