Considered by Falls as being "among the most vivid of German documents relating to the War." A very interesting copy in that the Translator's Note preceding the Preface states that: "Owing to ill-health the Translator was compelled to accept the collaboration of two friends - Captain Raymond Johnes and C.D.R. Lumby, Esq., - in the work of preparing this translation. While a great part of the work has been theirs, any errors either of interpretation or of style must be ascribed to the Translator. The Translator desires to express publicly his warm sense of the obligation he is under to these two gentlemen for their friendly and invaluable assistance, without which the translation could not have been completed. I.F.D.M." Beneath this printed announcement there is a ms. note by Johnes: "The entire work [i.e., this translation rather than "a great part of the work"], for which we were never paid by Morrow. My part was pp. 1-119. Raymond Johnes." Johnes was an authority on Japanese Art and as an interesting aside, my former business partner, Brian Turner, knew him in the 1970s. Johnes (who served in the Suffolk Regiment) claimed to Brian that he was the only British officer to carry a Japanese short-sword on the Somme, and indeed that he had lost it there. One wonders whether it has ever been recovered, or whether is still lies out there somewhere in the soil of France! Orig. yellow cloth, near fine in like dw. See illustrations on our website.
