About this Item

Octavo. Original cloth. Dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with photographs. A detailed history. SIGNED AND DATED BY THE AUTHOR TO THE TITLE PAGE. Philip Warner (1914-2000) was a remarkable man. He enlisted in the Royal Corps of Signals after graduating from St Catherine's, Cambridge in 1939. He fought in Malaya and spent 1,100 days as 'a guest of the Emperor' in Changi and on the Railway of Death, an experience he never discussed. He was a legendary figure to generations of cadets during his thirty years as a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Yet he will arguably be best remembered for his contribution of more than 2,000 obituaries of prominent army figures to 'The Daily Telegraph'. Top edge a little spotted thus near fine only in very near fine, bright, clean dustwrapper. A very nice copy indeed. Scarce signed. Seller Inventory # 002106
