Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 286pp. Brown cloth lettered and ruled in gold at the spine, with the publisher's russet top-edge stain. Illustrated with two maps and six captioned photographic plates. A little wear to the backstrip ends and a single tiny circular scorch-mark to the upper board. A little surface abrasion and tape residue to the pastedowns and endpapers from the wrapper protector, and also the ghost of several brief inked and pencilled notes. A little light spotting to several preliminary and concluding leaves, and also to the plates and plate-adjacent leaves. Tiny dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown. Very good in fair dust wrapper, marked and soiled, quite browned at the spine panel, chipped at the spine ends with some internal repair, and with a little tenderness to several natural folds. All four corners of the flaps have been clipped, impacting two areas of the printed text. A small corresponding scorch-hole to the front panel. A respectable copy of Sam Cottingham Rolls' uncommon Great War memoirs. Most uncommon in the dust wrapper. O'Brien E114.
