A semi biographical account of campaigning on the North West Frontier in the years leading up to WWI. By author and soldier Michael Burt (1900-67). Field Marshal William Riddell Birdwood, 1st Baron Birdwood (1865-1951), was a British Army officer. He saw active service in the Second Boer War on the staff of Lord Kitchener. He saw action again in the First World War as commander of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915, leading the landings on the peninsula and then the evacuation later in the year, before becoming commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army on the Western Front during the closing stages of the war. He went on to be general officer commanding the Northern Army in India in 1920 and Commander-in-Chief, India, in 1925. Quite a scarce book.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Photographs (illustrator). 1st Edition. An American Artillery Captain's account of the making and experiences of the new National Army. From the Foreword: "There is a saying in the army that an Artillery Captain's work is never done. The small hours of the morning, and only them, belong to the writing of this book. Literary polish it lacks. No effort has been made to attain it. The one thing sought after was sincerity-to tell just what the selected men of the National Army are doing, how they are faring, why their very presence in uniform is the dawn of a new and more glorious America. And their slogan is "Berlin or Bust!" . . . And it shall be Berlin!" Some soiling to covers and foxing on the 7 photos and adjacent pages, typical of the paper used in books from this period. Hinges and text block are tight. Minimal shelfwear and no markings seen.

Docketted with Harcourt's dates. The letter reads: 'Sir, | Captain Sir Murray Maxwell having signified his intention of offering himself as a Candidate for Westminster at the ensuing Election; I shall be much obliged to you if you will give him Your Vote upon that occasion.' In the 1818 general election Maxwell (1775-1831) was defeated by less than 400 votes, losing to Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir Francis Burdett.
