Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of satirical poems by the author. Written during WWI, these pieces center around themes of the tragedy and futility of war, patriotism, and culture. The author skewers the hypocrisy, hubris, and brutality of the German leadership, particularly Kaiser Wilhelm II. The volume also contains several poems that discuss topics of home-front attitudes, and the challenges and experiences of the common British soldier. The author uses biting wit, irony, and humor to expose the absurdity and horror of the conflict. Ultimately, the poems in this work stand as a powerful indictment of war and a moving tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. …

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Privately published, probably for internally factory subscription, and printed in Croydon by Roffey and Clark printers, 12 High Street Croydon. This is an exceptionally scarce of British home front social history. Bypassing commercial publishing channels and missing from standard legal deposit databases, this work is unrecorded on Copac (Jisc Library Hub Discover). Produced under the strict censorship parameters of the Defence of the Realm Act (DORA), it employs the standardized government placeholder "Somewhere in England" on the title page to protect the facility's location from enemy air raids. Only a small trade imprint at the back anchors its production to Croydon, where it was sold internally by the workforce to raise funds for St. Dunstan's hostel for blinded servicemen. Rather than standard shell-filling, the content reveals this collection originated from the aircraft assembly and salvage operations supporting the Royal Flying Corps in the Croydon/Beddington area (such as the Aircraft Disposal Company or the Aeronautical Inspection Directorate). This is assumed as in one of the drawings a woman is seen carrying a small dispatch box clearly labelled A. D. and in another drawing a sketch of a Miss Compton shows here wearing an A.I.D. badge, which stands for the Aeronautical Inspection Directorate (originally formed as the Aeronautical Inspection Department under the War Office in December 1913) The verses and sketches, primarily executed by the talented factory artist K. Gastrell, with contributions by M. Tibson, capture an intimate, humorous look at the daily routines and hardships of the "munitionettes" (female factory workers). The book is structured sequentially around a regular 24-hour cycle of industrial labour. This specific copy includes a loose contemporary group portrait photograph inserted by the original owner. The sepia-toned studio card depicts five female factory workers posing in their official protective uniform overalls, hair-containment caps, and triangular "On War Service" badges. Inscribed on the reverse of the photograph in pencil in early 20th-century cursive is the name "Ada Beatrice". The book is a paperback format with yapped edges, 7.5 inches tall approx., running to 48 pages. CONDITION The covers are showing expected wear with some marking and foxing ( see pictures) noticeable foxing to endpapers and occasional foxing within, some creasing wear to lower page corners else in good general condition. An exceptionally scarce work with no copies located in any of the main institutional library collections. K. Gastrell & M. Tibson (illustrator).…
